London. For some time past the shipments Of
specie from England TO the Continent have been
very large; and, from this fact, IT would appear
tpat The shipments are now, or coon will be,
the other way. In view, then, Of the war, and
lhe consequent demand for our products, it does
not seem improbable that, should our crops
realize the promise they now hold forth, we
sna'' be importing specie from Europe instead
OF exporting it, as we have been hitherto doing
We may therefore have specie pouring in upon
us next fail in superabundance.

EXPORT AND PROBABLE IMPORT OF SPECIE
The export of specie from this country to
Europe is unusually large. The steamers sail
ing from here last week took out three mil
lions OF dollars. The Persia, which sails to-
morrow, will carry away two millions and
quarter; and the steamer which leaves here on
Saturday next will take one million and half
This, 1t Will be seen, is q heavy drain on this
country, amounting to six millions and three
quarters within two weeks There is, in fact
now anoat on the ocean, on it's way to Europe,
not less han eight millions and half In specie.
But there is likely to be change in this state
Of things before long; for we learn by the news

GRRRlTr SMrrH's INsANIrY.-A dispatch of the
10th from Utica says:
Gerritt Smith shows continued marks of INSANITY.
No one is allowed to see him, but it il understood
that he refers in his rawlings to the Harper's Ferry
matters, and supposes himself arrested.
The Utica Heraldsays:
We are greatly panied to learn that Gerritt Smith,
the free-hearted but sadly erratic phianthropist,
became on Monday last an inmate of the New York
State Lunatc Asylum, where it has been found
necessary to place him on account of marked in
sanity. We learn that he is very violent, and has
exhibited disposition to commit suicide, and that
an attendant keeps constant watch over him to pre-
vent him from laying violent hands on himself. This
result we hear il attributable to the connection of
Mr.. Smiths name with the Harpers Ferry affair !;
| many will regard it as the consequence of long
| seated and marked disease.
| The Rochester Express says
| Ever since the d6nouen,em of the mad and fool
hardy attempts of old Brown at Harper's Ferry,
there have been rumors that Gerrtt Smith was in a
most distressing and pitiable state of mind.
It is said that he has been constantly wringng his
hands and bemoaning the fate of poor Brown, and
accusing himself with having been instrumental in
bringing his friends into their present sore troubles
While making brief visit to the neighborhood of
Mr.. Smiths residence a few days since, we learned
that his friends were apprehensve that his reason
would give way under the load of grief and anxiety
the events of Harpers Ferry and neighborhood has
occasloned, and We were not, therefore, surprised
to learn this morning that these fears have been re-
allied, and that the unhappy man is now a raving
lunatic. He was taken to the Lunatic Asylum at
Utica yesterday.

THE TRANS ATLANTIC BALLOON VoYAGE.--An ac-
cident happened to Mr.. loves monster balloon on
the night Of the 10th inst. During strong gale the
huge globe was lifted up with jerk, dragging the
heavy sand-bags that served as weight to keep it
down, several feet causing them to dance about like
puppet dolls few rods to the east of the balloon
stands small tent containing rope and other arti.
cles in constant use. Against the sharp ridge pole
of this tent the balloon was driven with great vo-
lence breaking hole in the muslin, through which
the gas rushed in dense volumes and in a few mo-
ments the $4,000 feet of gas in the balloon had
escaped, and the lately expanded globe presented
the appearance of collapsed mass of fabby rags.
This accidentnvolved dead loss to the proprietor
of nearly $4,000. 1t was to be Immediately repaired
and re-indated. The n Y. Tribune learns from
Mr.. Lowe that he had fixed upon the 18th (yester-

ANOTHER DIAMOND WEDDING.-The following bit
Of gossip j, given by the Boston Traveller:
We hear that a New York merchant who has
fully reached the middle period Of life, and is worth
a mint Of dollars, is about to lead to the altar
young lady of this city, who has acquired, in the
select circle in which she moves the enviabe title
of the Belle Of Boston. Matters are far advanced
that the marriage license has already been pro-
ding in church, and preparations were being made
for display snch as has seldom been seen in this
city, but in consequence of the comments upon the

From the Advertiser we extract the following:
The weather underwent a sudden change on
Saturday night, a strong wind from the north
sprlngins up between and 10 o'clock. Since
then the air has been cold and Enthusiastically
wintcrish-and yesterday morning we learn that
ice was seen in some places fully of an inch
thick. The thermometer indicated very low de-
gree of heat, and night approached Yesterday
the cold increased in intensity from the midday
mildness.
We learn from the clerk of the steamer York
town, that there was quite a heavy gale in the
lower bay on Saturday night and Sunday morning,
and that several Of the vessels composing the fleet
at anchor there were more or less injured. Five
or six of them dragged their anchors for conside-
rable distance and one or two went ashore.
The ship jamestown, loading for Liverpool, went
ashore on the middle ground, and the steamer Bal
tic was alongside taking Off cotton when the York
town left
The ship George Washington, also loading for
Liverpool likewise went ashore on the middle
ground, but not SO badly as in the case of the
jamestown.
The ships City of Mobile and S. Curling came in
collision with other vessels during the blow, and
sustained some damage to their rigging-the for
mer losing her jib-boom and the latter the end of
her martingale, and badly chafed besides.
What further damage was sustained we did not
