sure to be the first time commercial trouble
came-the superstructure fell with crash to
the ground. We have nothing left now but
the foundation and the corner stone upon
which to build up new enterprises. All else is
gone.
The CONFERENCE AT OsTEND.-It is stated in
the foreign news by the America, published
yesterday, that Capt Gibson was the bearer Of
the result of the conference of American Minis
tiers at Ostend to the government at Washing
ton. This is mistake. Mr.. McRae, the
American Consul at Paris, was, as announced
in Tuesdays HERALD, the bearer Of the impor-
tant dispatches in question. We understand
tonished, and not little annoyed, at the pub
licity we have given to the ultimatum of the
ministers. It forces the administration to act;
but az this requires some courage, we are not
surprised at the hesitation displayed, notwith-
standing the TACT that Mr.. Buchanan has recon-
mended the immediate purchase or taking of
Cuba. Will the Union inform US what the
administration intend to dot
GOVERNOR MARCY AND THE Presidency
We learn from Washington that Mr.. Marcy is
quite delighted at the election Of Seymour,
claiming it as a personal victory for himself
His friends already declare their intention of
running the Ex-Governor for the Presidency,
upon the basis of his success In carrying the
Reciprocity Treaty through, and his personal
popularity in this State, as evidenced last
Tuesday. Mr.. Marcy is quite right in starting
upon two issues, on the merit of which his
claims are so equally balanced. We to-day
dispose of the question of Governor Seymours
election as an administration victory. When
our columns are less crowded we will take up
the Reciprocity matter, and show how much
credit is due to the administration, and espe-
cially Mr.. Marcy, fer its success.
The WAR IN EuRoPE-The English, Scotch
and Irish, all over the world, are periodically

sums have been contributed in Canada, and
over five thousand dollars have thus far been
collected in this city for this praiseworthy pur-
pose. We publish in our advertising columns this
morning, the names of the committee who have
been appointed to receive subscriptions. Honor
the brave, and protect the widow and orphan.
