AMERICA.  NEW YORK, AUG. 27. The Washington correspondent of the New York _Herald considers it extremely doubtful whether the military expedition to Utah would be dispatched before next spring, in consequence of the disorganisation of the force. The Surrogate had given a decision in the Burdell case. Mrs. Cunningham, in his opinion, is not the widow of the murdered dentist, and be bad directed theissue of letters of administration to the next of kin. Mrs. Cunningham, according to the statf.ment of an inquisitive reporter who visited her in her cell, maintained great coolness. She was of opinion that the Surrogate, though an upright man, had been influenced by her enemies. The Hon. R. K. Meade, the United States Minister to Brazil, was about to leave 'Washington for his post. He is said to have received instructions to negotiate a new commercial treaty, and t o endeavour to obtain a reductionin the Brazilian tariff.  According to the New York Times the potato crop in the States was fe &ally diseased. Tidings of the submarine cable expedition were eagerly looked for, and as the weather had been favourable sanguine hopes were entertaine I of its success. At Portland a salute of 100 guns was to be fired on the receipt of the wished-for intelligence. The suspension of Brewster and Co., bankers, is reported in a telegraphic despatch from Rochester. .(k.t Boston the firm of Whitney and Hinds had failed. The reported failure of Blanchard, Sherman, and Co., at the same place, is contradicted. A telegraph message from New York to a Boston paper mentions some additional failures. Zt says : "The suspension of the Ohio Life and Trust Company has been followed to-day by that of John Thompson, who has for so many years done the leading business in uncurrent-money, and acted as agent of various banks." The New York commercial advices of the 25th ult. report an increasing tightness in the money market. Prime paper was selling at 9to 10 per cent., and good paper; not strictly within the first class list, at 11 to 12 per cent. --Loans on call were made by the banks at legal limits, but outside various higher rates were paid,' according to the necessities of borrowers. The announcement of the  failure of the Ohio Life Insurance and Trust Co►npany on the evening of the 24th created much distrust in monetary circles. The Bank statement for the week ending August 22 showed a decrease in loans, $1,101,000 ; specie, $1,236,000 ; circulation, $86,000 ; and deposits. $2,992,000. There was no change of moment at the first board of the stock market. At the second board stocks were generally firmer, and an advance was effected in several. Erie changed hands at 23 ; Cleveland and Toledo at 412 ; Reading at 61 ; Illinois Central at 104 ; Cleveland and Pittsburg at 16 ; and New York Central at 73i. In exchange there was only a moderato demand for the Canada. Bills on London were quoted 1091 to 109& ; on France, sf. 16i. ; and on Hamburg, 363 to 36g. The business in cotton continued to be on a very moderato, scald, and confined almost entirely t 3 requirements for home consumption. The market was firm, but no actual advance could be quoted. The accounts from the South are confirmatory of the improved condition of the growing crop. Flour was dull, and prices had declined 10c. to 30c. per barrel.  If 8 fi 7  —August 2.5, iu lat. 16 N., log. 25 40 W., the Hamburg brigantine Christine Marie, steering to the southward ; 29th, in lat. 26 30 N., long. 17 45 W., the ship Bosworth, standing to the south-west, apparently with emigrants on board, all well ; September 3, in lat. 43 40 N., long. 8 50 W., exchanged col ours with the English ship Hersilia, with troops for Madras ; and the French ship La Rose, the latter steering to the north-west ; off Ushant passed two screw steamers, steering to the southwest.
