OUR FINANCES.

have already said, that there Is nothing in tho

from the following from tue New York Herald Of the
25th February:
There is, we believe, but one opinion about tue

ble-whon In fact, every element OF progress was IN
such sound aud healthy condition as nt present.

TO fear on this side Of the Atlantic. An aInicao'e
adjustment of the difficulties which now diVde tne
n.,;ons of Europe, would give q great impetus 10
speculation within our limits, and for t'ne give
preatsr activity many Of our most important ioc"
interests but for long run continuance OF tue pre-
sent European war would be more "dVantageous:-
