There was bnt little excitement, although much
feeling, created here by the news from Europe.
Tie general belief is that the English press cxag-
gerates the policy of that Government and ihat the
difficulty is one shat can be settled by diplomacy.
TIE shair will however. doubtless have the good eff
fee, of arousing citizens 10 sense of our weak
meas in the defnsss Of this locality and settling the
DISPUTE at present. existing between the State De-
partment and the State Government respecting the
necessity OF their Immediate improvement.
There was but little movement, in cotton to-day,
and prices are unchanged. There was some little
excitement at the Cora Exchange. Breadstuils are
generally unchanged.
The resolution OF Mr.. Valandigbam in tie House
to-day is deprecated an attempt TO force results
which the State Department may be able to avert.
The money article of The Bulletin Of this city
says
s'The foreign news caused ieverish and excited
Stock mpllet to-day, with downward tendency,
particularly in fncies.' Reading declined one per
cent. The better classes Of securities sympathile
with his downward movement, but In the absence
of transactions prices are entirely nominal. The
best bids for 1t tie loans are per cent below Saur
days prices In goueIaIy circles there is much dis
trust and capitsis holding of until the buster
and excitement subside."

Tie English news produced profound sensation
in commercial and financial circles, and the impress
Sou seems general that there is danger of u war
with Great Britain; but while all admit MAT II
Capt. Wilkes did wrong in the Trent affair, an
apology should be made; but if right no Illuminating
concessions ought to be entertained for moment to
England or any other power.
Tho news greatly unsettled the markets aud pro-
duced temporary cessation Of business 80 that there
was but little done in any department.
