The news from Europe by the steamers Atlantic and

of favorable unfavorable character. The transac-
tions at the first board were quite large, but lower
prices ruled, except in one or two instances. Mis-
souri, 6's declined per cent? Nicaragua Transit, j;

vanced per cent; Michigan Southern, 1. There
were sales Of Galens and Chicago and Wisconsin
Lake Shore at Saturdays prices. These slight va
rations in prices are natural under any state of the
market The advices from Europe are calculated
to make spectators pause little while, and await
further accounts but there is nothing decidedly Of
an unfavorable character in the intelligence re-
ceivsd, and nothing calculated to shake public con-
ndence in the future. As for o war with this coun
try, the idea Ia absurd and ridiculous The present
difficulty will end as all others have within the
past forty years. The political demagogues of both
countries must have opportunity to let of little
bluster, and that will be all the whole affair will
amount to. 1t is most extraordinary that the states
men of Great Britain and the United States can find
nothing better to do than to periodically get up
these national excitements, and lead the press Of
both countries into all sorts Of abuse Of each other
until the people become disguised, and rise up in
their wrath and by the force Of public opinion scat
ter the whole party, and amicabiy adjust all diff.
culties.

The last returns, compared with those for the pre-
ceding week, show the following variations:-
Loans and discounts, an increase ,s44 ls2
Circulation, decrease. .......... 2S,753
Deposits, decrease nopinsy. ............ 405 466
Deposits an increase actually ......... 1887, 1853
The returns are fully up to our anticipations. Ne
predicted discount line for last week of more than
one hundred millions of dollars. There has been no
change of consequence in the specie department,
but the variation is favorable one. The deposits
have actually increased nearly two millions of dol.
lars, although the returns show decrease of about
four hundred thousand dollars. The increase in
specie has been in the face Of large expectation,
n the absence of further remttances from Califor-
MIA, and Of steady accumulation in the sub-treasu-
ry of thin port. The banks, with such supply Of
specie, cannot avoid an expansion Of loans
The imports and exports from this port during
the past week are as follows;-

The teachers of Christianity are

The teachers of Christianity are in-
structed by the gospel to point out
the way of salvation, and to promote
peace and good will among men,
The prince of Peace" has bequeathsd
to them the example Of his own life,
during his pilgrimage upon earth, as
an eternal precedent. The apostles,
faithful to his precepts, preached what
their great exemplar practised; and
tho mild and beautiful doctrines of
the evangel were faithfully taught du-
ring the early struggles Of The Christ
ian church. But as the church waxed
strong, it attempted to assume the
control Of states and empires, and to
sit in Judgment upon all temporal al
fairs. It became ferocious and mer-
CHESS; it REDEEMED the earth with blood;
and thousands who gmote by the sword
in tie desecrated name of Christ, per
ished by the sword in conformity with
His prophecy. The war era Of the
church passed away, and once more it
became a mild, beniguant, more
Christ-like institution. It has SO con-
tinued to The present day; but we con-
fess with sorrow that an effort is now
being made to render it an instrument
Of political preferment. Among 9th

Russia at the Conference.

The Paris correspondent of the
New York Herald says the firm tone
held by the Russian plenipotentiary
had greatly embarrassed the repre-
sentatives of the other Powers
I"We mean to make peace with you"
Count Orloff is reported to have said,
"but for the love of God don't at
tempt to humiliate us or you will
raise a-storm at st. Petersburg that
will fill the world with blood and flame
for the next quarter century" On the
day after these impressive words are
said to have been uttered,
both Count Orloff and Baron Brunow
were closeted with the Emperor for an
hour, in his cabinet at the Tuiileries,
and it was observed on his leaving
that the ordinary impassive face
of the Baron wore an air of unusual
anxiety.

Know NOthine Prospects.

The know nothing organs 10 Or
der to inspire their friends with some
hope, and in the vain effort to infuse
into them some spirit, are lying at a
prodigious rate. They speak of en-
thusiasm where there is none of it
to be found. They boast of unity
when all is chaos and confusion. In
order to keep the public advised as
to the true condition of affairs we
will continue to give extracts from
reliable sources and papers-nearly
all know nothing and whig-and let
them be their own judges:
The Kingston { N. y Journal,
an able know nothing paper, rspudi.
ates FilImore's nominal ton.
The Burlington, (Vi) Free Press
Wing, says: To nominate Mr.. Fill
more was one thing; to elect him is a
very different affair. With bis par.
| sy in New York divided, he has not
the ghost of a chance of carrying his
own State; and we see small reason
to believe that he will carry three
States in the UUion, if he does one.
The Albany, On. " Knickerbock-
er says that several of the know
nothing lodges in that city are about
to have a split--the Law men retir-
ing for the purpose Of organizing
Hodges Of their own.
The New London Conn Chroni.
Gle supports the State know nothing
nominations, but repudiates Fillmore
and Donelson.
The New York Herald, which has
heretofore favored the know moth
ings, says the idea Of the election Of
Fillmore is preposterous.
In New Jersey the Newark Mercu-
ry and the Morlistown Jerseyman
repuGiate the nominations. The
Jerseyman does not know whether
to treat the matter as a joke or as
of serious Importance, and says that
there is not a ghost of chance fol
Mr.. Fillmore. The Trenton Gazette
does not support the nominations.
In Massachusetts, the Boston
! Chronicle and Atlas, two Influential
know nothing papers, Genounce the
nominations as unworthy Of support
The Portland (Me.) Advertiser
repudiates the ticket. A number o.
leading New England papers remain
silent on the subject.
The Pittsburgh Commercial Jour
nal, Carlisle Herald, Lewistown Ga
zette, Mauoh Chunk Gazette, and
many other active and prominent
know nothing journals in Pennsylva'
MIA, refuse 10 support Fillmore and
Donelson. ~
