Financial Affairs.

New YORK. Oct. 23.-The Metropol-
tan Bank is said to have discounted to-day
all that was offered. AS general thing,
however, money is as tightas at any time
during the week.
1t is stated by express authority of pri-
vate adviccs that the English untcrwri-
tiers have declined to insure any more
specie on board the steamer Persia; and
that she and the ship of the Goth of Octo-
Der would have on board enc million
pounds sterling. The same authority
states that the Bank of England had no
tilted the bill-brokers that they should
discount nothing having over thirty days
to run.
BosToN, Oct. 22.-The money market
here remains without change. In stocks
there is very little doing, and the tenden-
cy is downward.
A number of our large firms are out
with cards offering their stock Of goods at
greatly reduced prices for cash,or on short
credit, believing that the present crisis in
monetary affairs to some extent was pro-
duced by the long credit system.
There is large attendance at the agri-
cultural fair to-day. A splendid display
Of horses came off this noon.

recently seen Capt. Van Wheat, the conf
dental agent Of the government at Pal
metto. Kansas, returning from Salt Lake.
He reports that the Mormons refuse to let
the United States troops enter the CITY,
Governor Young publicly declares that
he will burn the prairies, and thus deprive
the animals of the expedition of subsis-
tence, and burn his own city, if necessa-
ry, before he will submit to the demand
of the government. The forts along the
route are represented as in bad repair, and

through the Secretary of the Navy, ten
tered a passage in the u. s.. steamer
Powhatan, which is on the eve of leaving
for the East Indies, touching at Madeira
\ letter has been received at the War
Department stating that the 9TH and 10th
regiments ofintantry and Phillips battery
left Fort Laramie on the 9th of September
on their way 10 Utah. Lieut.. Alexander,
commanding the 10th regiment, says
that the march across the prairie country,
from Fort Leavenworth to Platte river
was within the time allowed by Gen.
Harney's orders, and was, perhaps, the
most exempt from loss and accident ever
known. No serious sickness has prevail
ed, though four cases of bilious fever,
produced by the great alterations of tenn
pcrature and nliasma of the Platte bottom
have occurred. He confidently expresses
the belief that unless some very unfore-
seen accident occurs, his regiment will
reach Utah in condition Of perfect eff
cheney and discipline
The diplomatic corps to-day received
cards of invitation to a grand dinner party
at the Presidents on Thursday.
WAsHINGToN. Oct 24-The British
Government still take no steps in re fer
ence to the Nicaragua transit, except in
conjunction with the Government Of the
United States None of the alleged con-
tracts with Costa Rica on the subject have
been made with the countenance of En-
gland. Ofa.l this:our o eminent is well
informed.
So far from the British Cabinet having
under discussion the propriety Of ordering
Il recall of the troops from India, as re-
ported on the alleged letter from our
Minister, Mr.. Dallas. it was at the latest
accounts received this morning, about to
make renewed eXcrtions for the Suppress
ion of the mutiny. The statement may
here be made, on authority, that it is not
the intention Of the British Government to
have recourse to foreign enlistments in
the present emergency, though it is SEN
sible Of the good intentions Of many par
ties who have offered their services in
India.

There is no place in the Union so we'll

is to be hoped that our delegate to Con-
gress, Mr.. Garnett, and our Senators, will
take active steps towards showing to
Congress the advantages of having sufi-
GENTLY large works erected here.
AS soon as the difficulties in Kansas are
all settled, quite an addition to the troops
here is expected.

The BAY LINE STEAMERs.-The Bal
timore Bay Line will continue to run the
two noble steamers Louisiana and North
Carolina, between Baltimore and Nor
folk, alternately, daily. The officers of
these boats are gentlemanly and obliging ;
and the boats themselves smooth-riding
and in every way adopted to the route.
This line is a great public convenience,
bringing us as it does within some eleven
or twelve hours of Baltimore, eight or
nine of which may be passed in as sound
and refreshing sleep as in any hotel on
terra ,tirma. This company should be lib
orally patronized by our people; especially
when we remember the generous sacrili-
ccs made by it in running boats daily, at
great loss and risk between Baltimore and
this city during the terrible visitation OF
1855.

9s We congratulate the citizens of

cd them this week, in the opportunity
Of hearing, as it were at their own doors
without the necessity of going to New
ork or Baltimore, -one of the foremost of
those American tragcdian in whom all
who have spark of patriotism must take
an earnest and abiding pride. Mr.. MUIR
DoCH, is "to the manor born He is no
imported humbug, but an American a
son of our own soil, and bred to the his
trionic greatness which he has attained
by his own self-cuture and good taste,
rather than by the study of Initiated for
eign models. His dramatic excellence is
not mere genius, nor, on the other hand,
this result of simple study; but something
which has been won by long years of Sc
we're and unlagging labor in the training
of the finest natural powers.
WI. MURDOCH possesses not only the
physical advantages which should belong
to a great actor, but also the rare and
valuable gift of an excellent dramatic
judgment, fine conception of characters,
and penetrating insight into the propric-
ties of representation.
We cannot but believe that our citizens
wall testify their appreciation of Mr.. MUIR
DocH's professional eminence, and high
private character, Ivy greeting him with a
crowded house tonight.

The "APPEAL FOR THE WATER LINE"
We learn that this important and val
liable work, the issue Of which has been
delayed by the difficulty of getting the
map accompanying it engraved at an ear
lier day, will probably be ready for gcner-
al distribution tomorrow.
One simple fact, viz: that Norfolk real
estate is worth less than one hundredth
part that of New York-or, in other
words, that ten thousand dollars worth of
property would relatively situate(N be
werth million in New York-and that,
too, in face of the preponderance of adj
vantagcs which this pamphlet proves to
exist in favor of the former over the latter
city, is enough, of itself, to suggest the in
ter est our people should take in the en-
animation of this work which PROCESSES to
point the practical and efficient remedies
for this strange and discreditablc dis
parity.
We have already expressed our opin-
ion of the great ability, patient research,
well-consdered argument, and thrilling
interest of this work, las we'll as of the vast
Importance to our people of the object adj
vocatod in its pages. We bespeak for
the work prompt and attentive perusal
at the hands ofcvery citizen. We shall re-
view it more at length at an early day.
