AMAZON SUNK.-We regret to learn
that this fine steamboat has sunk. She
was on her way down, with alight load,
when but short distance from the
mouth of the Missouri river she struck
snag that tore a large hole beneath
her bow, gliding nearly up to her boiler
decks. She sunk in an incredible short
space Of time. Some horses and hogs
that we're on board are said to have
been drowned. There we're about
thirty passengers on board at the time
of the accident, all of whom came
down to this city on the cars lastnight.
The Captain and first clerk arrived
here on the Illinois river packet Persia.
We are informed that she can easily
be raised.-,4. Louis Leader.

New YOrk I,ews.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The feeling in CONNER
cial circles this morning was decidedly better.
The public mind had also been relieved by the
arrival of the California steamer. There was
little more dispositions to purchase foreign ex-
change, though the rates continue very irregular
and low One very good bill for Gl0, 900 was sold
at par. A good market for the bills pressing
upon us would at once give relief, The receipts
at the Sub Treasury were Sl6l ,876, and the pay
ments g290,829 The former include $4,000
for transfer drafts on Boston, and the payments
include S44, 900 California drafts.
No mercantile failures Of Importance are an
nounced today The notes of the Oneida, Cen
trail, and Worthington Banks, of this State,
Bank Of North America, Seymour, CT, and West
ern Bank, of Springfield, were thrown out. The
notes of the Thompson Bank, CT, thrown out

954; increase in circulation, S77,794; total spe-
Gle, Sll, 400, Alb. The loss in spese has been
occasioned altogether by boarding, IN conse-
quence of the panic. The bank statement has
not been favorably received, and prices of stocks
at the second board were weak. N. Y State
