MONEY MATTERS ABRoAD.-The Lon.
doun correspondent of the Commercial
Advertiser, under date of the 5th writes
as follows:
The condition of the money market
during the past few days has been char.
acterized by considerable excitement
After the departure of the Atlantic, the
tendency of consols was rather toward
an advance, notwithstanding the contin-
ued drains of gold to Paris, and which
was now attributable in some degree to
large arrivals of continental wheat. An
announcement, however, that on the
additional estimates for the war during
the present year will reach to the amount
OF t5,6O0,OO0. coupled also with the re.
port that the French Government intend,
for similar purposes, to take p over to
raise a fresh loan equal to 10000, 900,
IN case of necessity, has produced very
decided and adverse effect.
The British people will soon feel, in
the shape of increased taxes, and the
increased number of widows and orphans,
what the lamented Gen. Gaines used to
call the horrors of war"

At every point Staunton gives unmis-

NEWS OF THE MORNING

Our exchanges still come laden with
long, dry and tedious dissertations on
the Nebraska question. 1t is infection
enough to be compelled, in the way of
business, to listen to the House speeches
on this prolific question: but to face
the music, not only every day, but eve
ry five minutes in the day, as ground out
by the daily and weekly press of the
country, is trifle more than human pa.
thence can endure. The abolitionists and
free-soilers talk of setting apart next Fri
day as day of fasting and prayer. As
for their fasting in the very face of the
flesh pots of Egypt, we regard it as high
ly problematical. We have more conf.
dence in their ability, as well as inclina.
ton. to prey without ceasing.
Shipwrecks and bridge falling, like
murders and robberies, sometimes assume
the form of an epidemic. Our exchanges,
this morning, have large number OF
disasters of this kind. The two ships
ashore near New York are likely to prove
total wrecks.
The accidents and incidents, the saw.
ings and doings-brought by mail OF
furnished by the lightning line-will be
read with no ordinary interest. The
next news from Europe, due in this city
ON Thursday next, is looked for with
great anxiety, as the last advioes from
the Danube were of q character to excite
both hopes and fears.
The clerical branch of the Episcopal
State Convention of Pennsylvania, seem
Iashly bent on compromising themselves
on the slavery question. Why can't they
permit the African church of Philadel-
phla to remain In the unsneIt ana uuuo.
ticed odor of their peculiar sanctity2 The
unfortunate example of their Methodist
brethren appear to have had no influence
on the action of these very respectable,
but very indiscreet gentlemen.
