European Money Matters.

We publish this morning, from the Liverpool

ney matters in Europe. The high rate of interest
which prevails not only in England but on the
continent. shows the scarcity of money that is felt

wrought it. effects everywhere. 1t has outrun the
available means of the word-produced a collapse,
aud time must be taken to repair damages and
bring order out of the confusion which has taken

cause money has increased in value, and also to
put a check upon extravagant schemes aud prevent

must be carried on; and to pay the heavy expenses

facilities to commerce will require the exercise OF
the very best financial talent of the nation. After
all, the suspension of specie payments by the
Bank nf England may be unavoidable 1t is likely
that the Bank of France will follow the example
of its London contemporary; for suspension in
England will likely Cause a flow of gold from
France that will have to be checked after the ap-
proved system of the tmes-suspension. The Eu-

caused much fckleness in money matters. The
