troops, Of, ~ II suits better, emig grants onboard
would ma It difficult to leave one Of our pofls
for Central America. The General Govefhme11f
has given orders to keep a strict watch everg-
where, and to prevent any violation of The nep-
trality laws. A steamer has even been setzed IN
New York on suspicion that its passengers Were
Walkers soldiers. These measures abundanEly
prove that Mr.. Buchanan does not accept VAL

all points; and whenever steamer conveying
emigrants shall ask for her papers at the Custom
lean port, the District Attorney and the United
Marshal will Immediately fnterpose, as they have
just done In New York. A departure under such
circumstances is next to impossible, and even II
a single steamer conld elude the vigilance of the
Federal authorities, 1t would put them on their
guard against all future attempts:
walker, then, will find It difficult to carry
out his plan Of invasion. The difficulty Of getting
from our ports with his volunteers has been al
ready alluded to. Buteven supposing him landed
in Nicaragua, there will be no diminution Of diff
hculties, for he will have to contend with an
enemy whose energy has been increased ten-fold
by his former victories. The prestige of the
American arms has been lost In Central America.
The allies have learned that the terrible filibus-
high that in the event of another war they will
rally round their colors to a man. Money, too,
must soon be wanting for the expedition. If
Nicaragua were a rich country the volunteers
might live on their conquest but il is absol uteiy

This distinguished Boston financier has pub
lished an able letter ON the financial condition
Of the times, wherein he holds tho New York
banks responsible for all the current financial
mischief His theory is, that their undue con-
traction is at the bottom Of the difficulty They
did right in contracting previous to the first of
May last, to point that equalized the price of
exchange on England-that brought that up to
par. There, he argues, they should have
stopped. Instead of doing so, however, being
without head to control them-as in the days
q
panic that affected the New York bank parlors
they continued to contract until they broke the
merchants who, in turn, reduced them 1.-THE
banks) in their fall to their present condition
His remedy is prompt expansion of loans by the
New York banks to the extent of fifteen millions
of dollars. In the course Of this letter he gives
an interesting history of the previous panics,
wherein he expresses views with reference to
the course of King Biddle in the crash of 1887,
directly opposed to those of our respected friends
Of the Intelhgencer. His theory is, that BddIe
was possessed by an insane sefishness and dis
position to revenge himself upon the commu-
nifty for Jackson's course towards the United
States Bank, and therefore worked the mischief
of that era.
THE PROSPECT ABRoAD.-The newspaper
financial prognosticators are already anticipat-
ing general blow-up in France and England
by way Of an echo to the crash on this side of
the Atlantic. The shakey condition Of the
Credit Mobilier, the cessation of the usual
American demand for silks, laces, light wines
and "kickshaws' (qnstque choses) to be the
result of our panic, and the necessity which
France will be under Of paying US in gold for
the cotton and other staples she must buy of us
or 90 half naked and half starved, form the
reasons why it is thought a terrible commercial
revulsion is impending over her.
In the case Of England, the drain of money
for the expenses of the Indian war, the failure
Of the Indian cotton crop through that war, our
failure through our panic to buy anything of
her We can possibly do without, and her con-
tinued pressing necessity for American cotton
and provisions that must be paid for to con-
siderable extent in gold, and also the tempo
rary unavailability Of British investments in
American securities growing out Of the general
American suspension, are expected to bring
about the anticipated English revulsion.
