Foreign Financial Affairs.

The Bulletins last steamer Review has
the following concerning foreign fnan.
cial matters:
Fiscal affairs abroad continued unset
tied at latest regular dates and although
there was apparently some ameliOration
in England, the rates of discount being
lower, and showing less apprehension in
regard to the drain of bullion, neverthe-
less an uneasy feeling existed in view Of
the condition Of things on the continent
and of the still very expanded state of
commercial credit and banking issues in
one form or another at home. The re-
duction of the rate of discount by the
Bank of France was deemed premature
and hardly warranted by existing circum-
stances-the Court of Spain was iE most
urgent need-important failures were oc-
curing among the Dutch, and with ad-
verse appearances in these and other
countries was coupled the probability Of
an early resumption Of bullion exports,
which the reduced rates of discount
would tend to accelerate.
The position of the Bank Of England
was deemed by no means strong, though
justifying the reduction of discount at
the time. 1t was felt that much was to
be undergone yet; that the end of the list
of failures had not been reached, and that
no real ease could be expected for some
time to come. The stringent and prompt
action of the Bank of England, however.
had evidently averted panic during the
critical period of the early days of No
vember, when it was seriously appre-
hended. The attention of the Bank seems
to have been specially directed to the i'm
prudeneies of banking institutions and
other interpretations organized within the
past few years under the limited liability
act, to which, mainly, the initiation Of
commercial interests was deemed attribut-
able. The Bank by refusing to discount
the paper of those institutions had i'm
posed very salutary check upon them,
and they were, with some exceptions, as
indicated by quotations upon the stock
list, growing into disrepate. The charac-
ter Of their transactions and of theil
STARE owners and managers was subject.
ed to the closest scrutiny, and when found
to be in any considerable degree specula-
tive, or of the F." kite flying" type, the
concern was remorselessly ruled out, and

road Puts Lees Army on Short
Commons.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-It would appear
that the destruction of the Gulf Railroad
by Sherman, struck a staggering blow at
Richmond. The Post has seen a private
letter from citizen of Savannah, which
states on authority of an officer of that
road, that it supplied Lees army up to the
time it was broke, with seventeen thousand
head of cattle per week the cattle coming
from Florida and Southern Alabama.
There is reason to believe from informa-
ton in possession of residents of Savannah
that Lee has not thirty days supplies on
| hand.

The slavery Question in kent"eky'-
sueech Of w. II. Kingly.

FRAXKFoRT, KY, Jan. 1.-THE speech
of Hon. W. r Kingly before the Legisla-
ture to-day, elected much remark he
said he had heretofore sustained legal
enactments favoring slavery because he
deemed slavery in some respects bench
cial to both races, although he had never
believed in the inherent right OF one
man to hold another man in bondage,
but that those benefits lad ceased to oc'
cur. and the rebellion was responsi ble
therefore. He justified the acts OF the
Administration in regard to slavery, aud
yindicated the right Of the people TO
amend the Constitution and abolish sla
yery. believing the Union to be the im.
mutible basis Of the government, and
the Constitution its mutable policy, to be
changed As necessity or eHpediency 10
auired He concluded by saying that
Kentucky required the Constitution bt
amended, as slavery had retarded the
developments in the past, and in the fg'
ture would more seriously cheek the ad
yancement.
