The intelligence Of the suspension Of the
great house Of Hill, Mclean g. Co, will be re.
ceved with general regret throughout the South.
western cotton growing States. For many
years that firm has been the main stay and sup.
port of n large portion of the planting interest,
and there are thousands who are indebted to II
for competency and fortune.
The house is this day one of the richest and
safest in the South il has the best securities in
its hands; and in any other city, where banking
captal bears any reasonable proportion to bus-
ness, this suspension. with its vast resources.
and high and unimpeachabe credit, would not
have occurred.
The pressure on the house was occasioned by
the low state Of the rivers and bayous, render
ing IL impossible for planters TO forward their
crops; and the suspension became an act OF
prudence and necessity, when the banks of this
city declined 20 render any aid. We advert to
The subject not only to say that the suspension
is but temporary, and that the house will con.
tinue, as usual, TO transact business with its
we'll known energy, and that its means and re
sources are undoubtej but likewise---to profit
by the lesson il affords us, of the absolute ne
cessity of more capital here, and of railroad "a
cili,ies to get produce to market Dor whole
community, commercial and agricultural--town
and country--are Suffering and losing every day
from the low state Of the waters; aud the present
instance, where house of undoubted solvency,
and capital, and with n large amount Of the best
paper on hand, cannot get an accommodation,
cries aloud for amelioration. Trade is seeking,
and will continue TO seek other channels, unless
this state of things be changed.

In the first attempts Of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then desirous TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This done
from a desire To accommodate those who could
procure passages in other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva
lence Of fever at Rio de JaDero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus which was increased by the impatience Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions all removed.
Three Of the four ships OF the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama.
and several Of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company
able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York, to San Fran
