GREAT BRITAIN.
The American war continued to be the
principal topic Of discussion.
The. depression in commercial circles
shows no diminuton, especially in cotton,
which is at a dead lock, and prices con
tinue to fall
a The additional failures which have ia ken
place include Louis Streltz, large cot on
dealer in Liverpool.
The demand for discount at the Bank Of
England on the 18th instant showed great
abstinence.
The Times thinks the only possible solu
ton of the American question is continued
war. America has commenced the fiery
ordeal of war which settled Europe on its
present basis, and, terrible as is the pros

will be the better for it in the end.

On last Monday the stock holders of the
Junction and Breakwater Railroad held
their annual meeting at Milford, and elect
ed new board of directors.
This meeting has attracted more atten-
ton in this section of our County, than
perhaps any other, because it was consid-
cred that the selection of the new board
would disclose the important fact whether
the extension of the road below Milford
would be favored or discouraged. We hear
that majority of the new directors are op-
posed to the completion Of the road, while
their friends and they themselves assert
that they are in favor Of it. We have nc
