falling off of S5l ,253,S07 in dutable mer.

FrouR FOR TIE CRrMEA.--Within the past
two or three weeks, some 10000 barrels of
-four have been purchased by a firm in this
city, for the British Government. Its desti-
nation is the Crimea. This flour has been

Nicaragua Boat brought no gold, but reports
two millions Of dollars as coming by the Pa
pania route. A San Francisco paper states
that $500 900 in silver was waiting shipment

NEw York MONEY MARKEr.--The panic
which we noticed in last weeks issue ns ex-
isting among the stock operators in Wall

Pacific was,,over due, bat bad not yet arrived,
Should her news prove favorable, stocks will
90 back very nearly or quite to the point they
were at before the panic.
