PANIC IN EUROPE--GoLD.

The great money panic that has just
sprung upon the commercial houses of Lon
don and Liverpool is demanding its share Of
attention in America. Though not serious
ly affected by it in general way, it has
forced itself upon the attention of this coun.
try by reason of the drain it is exacting up.
on gold, and the depreciation of its securi.
ties held abroad. The exports of gold from
New York to meet this money crisis, have
been unprecedented in the history of this
country. Between eight and ten millions
per week are now being shipped for this
purpose; and as consequence of the for
eign demand, gold has sensioly appreciated
in comparison with currency.
An intelligent writer for the New York
Ners, in its London correspondence, gives
the following explanation of the panic
GYou must have noticed the high rate of
interest that has for long time ruled in
London. Commerce has been thriving,
India and the Colonies have been exceed
ingly prosperous, the revenue has been
most Aourishing, and yet money has been
in demand in London at from s to 10 per
cent, while on the Continent it has been
at from 4 to 5 per cent. The explanation
is this, England has been doing new and
most dangerous business. England has
been showing her credit to the utmost to
borrow money for the purpose of investing
it in enterprises both at home and abroad
which promised to pay large interest 1
doubt not for an instant that for public
works in Italy and Austria, English capital
and credit has in the last four years been
pledged to the extent of about 100000
900. In fact England was making half
the railroads and building all the great
buildings in Europe. This work was done
through the AGENCY of the finance compan
les, who advanced money to the contractors
at from IL to 20 per cent Now, consider
the position. These companies get money
from the public on deposit, subject to re-
payment at 7 or IA days notice; and they
invest it in securities that at times cannot
be realized for months. The result is newt.
able. When financial crisis comes-as it
does periodically-these companies must
60 to the wall.
The panic eliminated on the 10th inst,
by the suspension of OvEREND, GURNEY &
Co., Bankers, with liabilities of about $780,
000,000!! Such stupendous transactions
as this house must have engaged in, could
not operate otherwise than to create dis
trust and failure. This firm seems to have
been a principal eye. sore in the crisis, and
as 5000 as expuuged the alarm began to
abate.
The present inflated price of gold in our
market we do not believe can last long. Its
origin being in the European market, and
the causes leading to it there being now in
course of removal, we may soon expect a
readjustment of the gold market-a return
of American balances held abroad-s rise
in securities, and matters will move along
as before the disturbances. In fact the Ia.
test advices from New York show decline
in gold already.

To CORRESPONDENTS.

| "a ISHOScrlOeT' addresses Us rem0n-
STRANGE upon the tone of an article in our
issue of the week before last, upon the ab-
rogation of the stay law. As the writer
does not give his real name, we deem it an
necessary to say more in reply, than that
the statements We then made are literally
correct, and the warning conveyed to debt
ors, timely, and.required by the inevitable
condition of approaching events. We de.
plore as much as "Subscriber" can, the EN-.
barrassment that must ensue, from what We
shall ever consider misguided State policy
in adoptiog the Stay Law; and that law
having been auuulled by the highest judi.
cial tribunal of the State, we can perceive
no alternative but pressure and ruin to
many. The article complained of is not
the author of the mischief, and need not
be excepted to as such. L. merely pointed
out results that will inevitably ensue, and
our duty as public journalists has not been
in advance of its requirements
AUSTRIA-PRUSSI DIFFICULTY.
JOHN MITCHELL, the London Cores.
pondent of the New York News, writing
from an intelligent stand point, gives the
following gloomy picture Of the prospective
war that is likely to coneulse all of Europe
in strife before its close:
'sThe continental war is still impending.
We hear now and then of conferences and
negotiations, but war is inevitable. 1t can.
not be averted, and l do not think it can
even be postponed. Prussia, assured Of
rhe support of France, does not care for the
German Diet. Italy has made preparations
for war, and not to go would ruin the mon
archy Therefore, it is waste of time to
study kilograms until they announce the
outbreak of hostilities. The financial panic
10 London may hinder the outbreak of war
for few days, but not for longer period,
and probably it will not produce any effect
at all. Meantime the knowing ones-the
Paris clique who interpret the great oracle
give the following as the Napoleouic pro-
gramme:
Prussia and Italy combined are to secure
Yenetia for Italy. That being accomplished
Italy is to shuttle out Of her alliance with
Prussia. and to make overtures to Austria
through Napoleon. These overtures will
be accepted, and Prussia, after struggle,
will have TO submit to the dictation of the
French Emperor Italy will get Venetia
Prussia will get-what she has already
the duchies Of Holstein and Schleswig.
Austria will get the Dauubian Principali-
ties. Aud what will France get? Well,
Victor Emanuel has entered into contract
to cede Sardinia to Napoleon, when Venetia
is wrested from Austria. Further to secure
the future peace of Europe the map will
be revised by adding the Rhine Provinces
and Belgium to, the Empire of France.
Late advices bring vague hope that this
dire calamity may be averted that negotia.
tions will bring time for reflection and re-
Election calm the excited passions of those
who would burl peaceful continent into
the horrors of an unnecessary war.

THE "SITUATION."

THE "SITUATION."
The House has passed new Bankrupt
Bill, and the Senate will probably endorse
it also. 1t will be remembered that the
Senate during the winter, passed general
bankrupt bill but the House refused to con-
cur in the measure at that time. We are
not advised as to the provisions Of the new
measure.
The National Union Club of Washington
City, last week, serenaded President JOHN
SON and the members of his Cabinet. The
responses of Secretaries MoCULLocH and
Wells, and Post Master General DENIM,
SON, showed them to be in full accord with the
President in his reconstruction policy.
STANTON was opposed in part to this policy
and endorsed it in part censured the Presi
dent for assuming to advise Congress upon
the Legislation required by the country, and
was opposed altogether to the new Cousti-
tutional amendment now before Congress.
HARLAN, Secretary of the Interior, and
Attorney General SPEED, sent notes to the
Club declining the honor of serenade,
and intimating that they were in accord
with their party, right or wrong, and against
the President and the country. Mr..
SEWARD, being absent, was represented by
his son in brief acknowledgment of the
compliment. The affair is one of impor.
tance, as it goes to show how far President
JOHNSON is supported by his legal advisers,
and how much influence he can calculate
upon from them in support of the policy
guiding his administration.
Ex. President DAVIS has been accorded
the privilege of parole by direction of the
PRESIDENT. This parole does not release him
from custody, but allows him the privilege
of the spacious fortress in which he is con-
fued, without guard or sentry. Mrs. DAVIS
has recently visited Washington, and this
act of clemency towards her illustrious hus.
band is a result of her efforts in his behalf,
Late advices warrant the belief that Mr..
DAVIS will not be put upon his trial in
Richmond iu June. The opposition in radi'
cal circles to a trial, which they assert will
end only in an acquital, will probably have
the effect of staying it off until December.
A trial by Military Commission is still
urged.
The Senate, it is thought, will reject the
new Constitutional amendments reported
from the Reconstruction Committee. At a
caucus recently held by the radicals of
the Senate to count noses oD the question,
it was found that an agreement could not
be had The opposition to the scheme is
too active in the North to raise hopes of its
success
A new Freedmen's Bureau Bill is under
discussion No action has yet been had up
on it. The reports of Generals STEEDMAN
and FULLERTON seem to have damaged its
prospects.
The adjournment question is still unde-
cided There is no disposition manifested
in favor of adjourDing before the last of the
summer-probably not at all.
The pressure brought to bear upon Con-
gress by the Commercial interests of New
York are expected to result in modifca-
tiou of the FIVE cents per pound tax on cotton.
The Senate it is thought will reduce the tax
to three cents when the bill comes before
