The Arabia took out news of the sus-
pension of specie payment by the New
York banks, which, contrary to expecta-
tions, were received with evident salts
ia action. The London Times and other
lie aiding papers regard it as the most sa-
ti4factory annouAcement that could have
b len lookedfor.
The East India Company have been
cdmpelled to borrow G750,000 to provide
for silver remittances to be made to Cal
cdtta.
In France the question Of suspension of
specie payments by the Bank of France
has been agitated and given rise to consi-
derable discussion. 1t is stated however

such a movement. Gen. Cavaignac, who

Letters from Naples still continue to
complain of government outrages. The
decided stand taken by our present minis

The India news are the cause of re-
joicing, not only in England, but in every
heart which sy~mpathizes with the victims
of the inhuman savages who raised the
standard of revolt. And it is refreshing
to contemplate the speedy overthrow of
the %barbarous rebels and the cessation of
cruelties inflicted upon the unfortunate
English residents who CHANGED to fall IN
to the murderous hands of the rebels
After a long and bloody resistance Delhi
has fallen, and the English army are ra-
pidly and eagerly assuming offensive ope-
