The sdvices from Europe are inducing mercan-

felt with regard TO the Bank OF France, which,
according TO private letters Is In some danger OF
suspending specie payment. Il not likely that the
French government would permit anything of the
kind, especially as France Is really very prosperous
Just now. The cessation OF orders from here
coupled with the drain Of gold for this country
has created some embarrassment, and, contrary
to the usual practice, the Bank has met 1t by rails

buying gold abroad. There is, however, no reason
TO anticipate anything more alarming than o strin.

stocks to this country for sale, and perhaps some
