CouurpCI,r. INTELLIGENCE.

The following il from The London Times City Ar
tice Of the 30th
The commercial letters from New-York to-day de.
scribe an unanimous feeling in the Northern States that
the Federal authority must be supported with men aud
money. The Congress Of the seeding Confederato
States was expected 10 declare in the course OF
week and il feared that their first move might be
10 seize all American ships 10 be found in their ports
and waters. Hence, shipowners were telegraphing
for their vessels 10 leave at once, whether full OF
empty Had hese events occurred earlier IN the season
for cotton shipments the profits for Btish ships would
have been very large. Such ms were available would
still command high terms. The rate Of exchange had
derIined some good bills having been sold l07 but
the leading bankers asking lOi 10 l0s, and Tie
impression that there would be no permanent fall
II was nssumed that when Congress shall meet al
Washington In extra scssIon on the 4th OF July one Oi
its first steps will be TO alter the Morrill, Tariff.
The London Ncics of the same date says:
The tenor Of the American letters delivered today l.
uniformly gloomy. In some quarters the apprehe sio
is expressed that the English market may be deugod
with American stocks Should the Americans make up
their minds TO sacrifice them vt very low prices, In
gsh investors would probably absorb them, and wait
tor the result Of the present conflict; but, under The
existing circumstances of doubt, II is requisite that
great temptation IN point Of price should be held ont.
War risk including letters OF marque, was taken
to-day at LlOyds on a hOmewardbound American
ship, at guineas per cent This premium may be
considered the current rate for tins SPECIAL risk 10
what extent this new charge VIII interfere WIN the
country is now becoming question OF great interest.
