AoVRoPEAN INQUIRY INTO THR FINANCES say, tnat hIn~n STATES AND MEXIco.- ana Mons De Jenea0--n of the 14th ult., rived there few days since on'-h banker. sion to examine the financial condition o.~r- country, the probable stability of the govern ment and other matters pertinent thereto. They tarried here short time and proceeded South to investigate the pecuniary condition and resources of that section, and to take care of European interests generally. After this they will proceed to Mexico and make simi- lar investigations in that country, having in view the ultimate establishment of joint English and French protectorate there. Mir. Nichols has the authority of British bankers to assume the pecuniary responsibility of build ing Pacific Railroad to pass through the territory of the Southern States of America and the Northern States of Mexico. Messrs, Nichols and De Jeneaux will meet in Mexico four other agents-two English and two French-who have gone direct to Mexico, landing at Vera Cruz, who have a mission similar to their own The bankers referred to represent forty million dollars of Mexican debt The whole debt to England and France is about two hundred million dollars. If this Government refuses to recognize the South ern Confederacy these agents are authorized to buy up the entire indebtedness of Mexico, large amount of the bonds held in Europe being now on the way to this country. From information received here there is every req son to believe that the protection of France and England will be extended over Mexico as soon as the events foreshadowed above are consummated.

NEW ORLEANS, NJ

 It is reported that Fort Brown, Texas, has been surrendered to the State forces.

CosT OF BoMBARDING-A letter from Charleston to the N o. Delta, gives the fol- lowing item of the expense to be incurred in the siege of Sumpter:
 Every gun fired from Fort Sumpter costs, on an average thirteen dollars. Every gun fired by the State will be an average expendi- ture of nine dollars. A prominent officer of Fort Moulhie informs me that, by a close calculation, it has been ascertained that when its batteries open the cost per diem to the State, at that fort alone will exceed Sl5,000. Pretty heavy, that

Last Saturday another bearer of dispatches arrived from Washington, and demanded a passport and conveyance to Fort Pickens. He was at once sent over by Col. Lomax, but the character of his dispatches is not yet known. Some two hours after his arrival, a signal flag was raised upon the Fort and heavy gun fired. At intervals through the day the gun was fired, but for what purpose We could not learn. The next morning the masts of the Wyandotte came in sight, and immediately after another gun was fired from the Fort, the stars and stripes put at halfmast, and, although daylight, rocket sent up. The Wyandotte came secretly into the harbor, and under a flag of truce, run up to the Navy
 yard, and a little to the Fort, where she is now lying. Nothing new appears this morn ing, except the smoke of several fires upon Fort Pickens, and two extra derricks and sling-cart for the purpose of mounting heavy guns They seem to keep busy over there, and mount two or three guns day Now they have more than double the number than when we came, and in addition, two heavy Cocorn mortaas.

DEATH OF A GREAT BETTING MAN There recently died in England another of those leyiathans of the old betting world, of whom Mr. Gully is about the last representa- tive, W. II. Justice great operator of the times when Gully, Ri=dale, Crockford, Jem Bland, Jerry Glove etc, were the book mak- CTS, died of softening of the brain, on the 9th of January. After the dissolution of the confederation between Mir. Gully and Risdale, from a dispute about their winnings on Margraye, when he carried off the St. Leger, Justice became the confdante and friend of the former They once went down to Chel- tenham Races and cleaned all the betting men out so completely on the first day that they did not think 1t worth while to stop for the second. A rival better was seen wandering about moodily on that day and being asked what he was doing there, replied, not like Praise-God Barebones, that he was z. seeking unc iIUru, put tnaU lie was looking for the few half-crowns Gully and Justice had condo scended to leave in the neighborhood.
