Effecrof the English News at the West,

CINCINNATI, Dec. 16.-The English news pro-
duced profound sensation In commercial and
financial circles, and the impression seemed to be
general that there is great danger Of war with
England Whilst the people admit that II Wilkes
did wrong in the Trent affair. due apology should
be made, they at the same time assert that II his
act was right no humiliatine concessions ought
70 be entertained for a moment to England or any
other power.
The news greatly unsettled the markets and
produced temporary cessation OF business
There was but little done in any Department.
PITTssuRe, Dec 16.-The English news was re-
ceived here with general astOnfshment and pro-
found indignation at the tone Of the English press
and the alleged policy of the British Government
One sentiment only 10 entertained here-that the
honor OF our country must be maintained and no
concessions made to English bluster.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 16 The English news is
received, on the whole, with indifference. II had
slightly unfavOrabIe effect on the tobacco sales
The Secessionists are rather elated in the hope
mat England will assist in opening the Southern
ports, while the Unionists either discredit the
news, o. believe that the next steamer will show
IN essential modification of the present attitude OF
England.
The Unionists believe that our Goyernmen,
rill do nothing but what is strictly right, and
they repudiate submission to anything wrong
'ThateveT may be the consequences
MILWAUKEE,, Dec. 16 There seems to be but
one feeling here, as regards the English news,
and that Is the hope that the Administration, II
right, will maintain the position Ii has taken
with prisoners, let the issues be what they NAV.

CHICAGO, Dec 16.-The news from England by
the Europa creates profound sensation In poli-

decision Of the legal officers Of the British Crown,
remarks: at reduces the ofense Of Capt Wilkes
very materially. II admits his right 70 visit and
search the ship, but insists that he should have
taken her into prize court for adjudication. We
are by no means sure that our government will
not concur at once in this opinion. Indeed, the
only official utterance we have vet had on the
subject leans decidedly Ia that direction. The
Secrstary Of the Navy, while commenting In the
warmest terms the spirit and patriotism evinced
by Capt. Wilkes, complains that he did not take
the Trent herself into neutral port and only FORE
bore to censure him for this omission In view Of
the peculiar circumstances Of the case. Neither
the President nor any other member Of his cahi-
net have expressed any opinion on the sublect.n

AMERICAN WATCHES
For Americans.

THE AMERICAN WATCH co. beg TO call
the attention of the citizens of Washington and
vicinity to the superiority of their Watches over all
imported, Ehsther Swiss or English.
The Company unhesit,tingly guarantee their
Watches to be unsurpassed BY those OF any coun-
Try for durability and fine tune keeping qualities.
CAUTION.
The Company would caution buyers to beware of
the cheap English and Swiss Watches now being
sent among soldiers in and around Washington.
There watches are of the poorest description Of
foreign manufacture, and utterly worthless as
tune keepers as the makers well knew when they
sent them to this country.
LADIES' WATCHES.
The Company would invite espeoIsl attention to
their latest style of watoh for Ladies. Every one
Will have ths same guarantee that accompanies the
most costly Chronometer Of their manufacture.
The styles of Cases are varied and suit different
tastes, and the introductiog % Of Watch for ladies',
that will 60 and keep time, has met with universal
avor.
ESPECIAL ATTENTION
is invited BY the Company to the fact that every
Watch, Of whatever price, manufactured at their
wor.s at Watham, Mass, is accompanied by $
certificate not only to warrant it, but to prevent
imposition from cheap and worthless Imitation
that is palmed of upon buyers as the genuine artI-
ole. All our Watches have up the plate the trade
mark "walthsm, Mass !" and without that mark
no Wstch is genuine.
Messrs. Nj. w. GAIT BROTHER have the
Watches of our manufacture for sails at Wash
