The Pail Mall Gazette says of the English
financial situation:

financial SITUATION:
It would be useless to remain silent longer
respecting the uneasy feeling that exists In
the city. To those who are accustomed to
feel the pulse of Lombard street and vicinity,
the aspect presented during the last week had
been such as to remind one Of occasions with
which we are far from instituting compari-
son. Names OF institutions of high stand
ing have been made free with In a manner to
alarm those who easily lose their heads, and
rumors,. arising out Of very little per-
haps, have become more and more
serious by repetition. We do not mean
10 deny that there may be grounds for
some uneasiness. Trade generally Is notOri-
ously depressed. The Eastern trade, In par
ticular, has been In collapse for years. Bad
business, losses, and the lock up Of capital
were therefore to be expected and prepared
for. But we would remind those who may
be discomposed by the rumors now too gen
eral to be any longer disregarded, with what
facility In the present temper OF the public
mind a scare can be got up. Only two months
ago few people stopping at the door of one
OF the greatest OF the London joint-stock
banks actually caused run upon 1t.
Another point that should be borne In mind
Is that disasters that do happen are scarcely
ever foreseen. How many persons heard
anything to the detrlment of the city OF Glas-
gov Bank before IL closed its doors?

lie merchandise greatly exceeded the value OF
net imports of merchandise, the excess of ex-
ports increasing rapidly from year to year.
1t appears that the value OF the net i'm
