In no case can we allow the Day Book to

L AT EST EW S .

NEW York, Oct. 1O.-F'inancial affairs
he1e to-day are exceedingly gloomy and
greatly depressed. 1t is, if anything,
worse than yesterday. Confidence in the
ability of the banks to hold out paying
specie is gradually growing weaker, whilst
depositors and notc-holders are constantly
drawing out coin. Merchants are very
hard up, and several additional failures,
names not mentioned, are said to have
taken place. Business of every kind is
interrupted and brought almost to stand.
The banks refuse to give the increased
discounts called for to sustain the CONNER
cial community. There seems to he no
other course left than to take things as
they come, and prepare for the worst.
The Illinois Central Railroad Company
has suffered protest and made an assign
ment. This was caused from an inabili-
ty to negotiate its bonds and make them
subservient to present pressing demands.
No distrust, however, is entertained of the
eventual ability Of this vast and powerful
concern to meet all its obligations. Its
great possession of lands is worth ten times
the amount of its debts. s0
The Erie Railroad Company was also
protested to-day and will doubtless make
an assignment. This concern does not
maintain much confidence. b
Advices from Boston indicate a contin-
ucd financial pressure there. The banks
still pay specie. Additional failures are
reported. h
WHEELING, VA, October 1O.-The
Merchants and Mechanics Bank of this
city has not failed, as was reported. 1t
continues to conduct business as before.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1O.-A heavy f.
nancial pressure still exists here. It is
generally thought that the Legislature
will legalize the suspension of the banks
for limited period.

greed to take up the relief bill passed by
the Senate yesterday, and dispensed with
fnrnality of going into Committee of the
Whole, and placed it on a second reading.
After u long debate on the question of
lengthehing the time for the resumption
from April to the Sd Monday in january
following, it was lost-Yeas 69-Nays IS.
A. motion was made to shorten the
time to January next, 1858, and for this
a substitute was offered fixing July the
first, 1858, which was lost bya vote of SO
to SO.
In theSenate political dispute arose from
resolution declaring that the whole of our
financial difficulty resulted from the Tariff
of 1874, and its notifications By the last
Congress.
The subject was finally postponed

Meeting Ofthe Creditors of Pair0
& NOurSe.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 9th.-There was
meeting here this afternoon Of the credi-
tors Of Pairo e. Nourse, which was very
large, representing heavy amount Of
deposits. Nicholas Callan presided and
Henry Smith was secretary. Several ad-
dresses were delivered, expressing conf
dence in the honesty of the parties. As
surances were given that there would be
ultimately little or no loss, and that the
suspended house was willing to furnish
all reasonable facilities for the entire sat-
istaction of creditors. The following re-
solution was unanimously adopted:
"Resolrez, That it is due alike to de-
positors as well as to Pairo & Nourse,
that a full investigation into the affairs of
the concern be made, and is invited by a
recent letter from them. That a commit
tee of three be appointed, who shall be
authorized to examine into said affairs
and report at an adjourned meeting of the
creditors"
Col. John Fl. Wheeler, John Fl. Smith
and William Thomas compose the COM
mittee. The object of this is to procure
a statement, which will place all beyond
doubt as to the final settlement.

er desperate quarrel occurred on the 2Sth,
in tavern in Cuthbert, wherein William
Goodman waa instantly killed with a
knife in the hands of L. Brown. Brown
was arrested, but has since escaped.

Rec We are indebted to the Washing
ton Union of Saturday for the following
Light House notices, which have just been
received at the State Department:
The Minister of Marine at Copenhagen
has given notice that during the present
month two fixed white lights will be cx-
hibitcd at Taars, at the northwest end of
Lap'and. on the east side of the great Belt,
for the guidance of vessels up to the ferry
at that place. The illuminating appara-
tus will be catoptric, or by reaectors Of
the sixth order. s ,.H
The Sandman government has given
notice that fixed bright light has been
established on Cape Dele Mele, on the
western shore of the Cult of Genoa, in the
department of Genoa. The light has been
placed at an elevation of BOT feet above
the level of the sea, and should be visible
from the deck Of a ship in ordinary wealth
or at distance of twenty miles.
Some error respecting the lights in the
Gulf of Cagliari having crept into all Eng
fish charts, the British consul Mt that port
has made known that the fixed light said
to be on Fanale does not exist. A new
lighthouse, to carry first-class light, is
now building on Carroll Island, off Cape
Carbonera; and the government has de-
creed the erection of another, to show
fourth-class light on Cape St. Ella, which,
however, is not yet begun. The only
lights now in the bay are two small red
lights, one on each side of the entrance of
the Darscna, or inner harbor. M
The Sicilian government has given no
tice that on and after the 18th day of July
last, fixed white light, varied by red
flash every two minutes, will be substitu-
ted for the former light on the tower Of
San Ranieri, Messina. The light will be
placed at an elevation of 1872 feet above
the level of the sea, and should be visible
from the deck ola ship in ordinary wealth
err at distance of twelve miles.
The captain of the port at .Buenos
Ayres has given notice that a light vessel
has been established off Point Indio, carry
ing a fixed white light, at a height of about
80 feet above the'level of the sea, visible
from the deck of a ship at distance Of
from to 10 miles in clear weather.

We clip the above from one ofour ex-
changes, and assure our readers there's
not word of truth in it. 100000
heiresses are scarce commodity in this
market, but what few we have are too
smart for any such speculator.

Produce is fast accommodating in Detroit
In consequence Of the arrangement of the
currency, and the uncertainty of the Eas-
tern markets, very little is being forward
ed. If the present financial pressure
should prevent the transportation of Wes-
tern breadstuffs, before the principal aven-
ues by which it reaches the seaboard are
closed, we may apprehend, notwthstand-
ing the plentiful harvests of the year, the
