THE UNITED STATES AND FRANCE.

from the appointment of Mr. Rtvr.s v.s m.msirr to

that which the magnitude and importance of the en

From every indication bearing upon the subject,
we have rnme to the conclusion that the Road will
he built, even though we should be humilialing'y
compelled to seek foreign aid. We have no fears for

she was at no time put under more than nine pounds

ficient degree of speed was attained to amply test
her sailing qualities, ond develope the defects of her
engines, ii any existed. The latter, however, work
ed without the slightst jur or irregularity. They
were built by T. F. Lceor & Co, and are culled the

are two 90-inch cylinder, or 800 horse-power, wfth 8

I the cylinder, these arc each imnwvcably secured by 30
l bolls, of 2J inches in diameter, nnd 5 feet in length'
' penetrating through the kelson, bed plate and floor
, timbers. Besides this, in order lo prevent the m
1 chincry from being affected by Ihe springing of the
vessel, its entire weight rests on llio kelson, and as
far as possible is disconnected with the pull.
The shafts and crank nro of wrought iron, and
' their aggregate weight is 61 J ions. The Weight of
! the bed-plates is 3G gross Ions ; cylinders, 19 tons.
( The water-wheels which arc of wrought iron, have

cost of llio engines, with their, various appurtenan
ces, is about SH5.000 No less than 900 tons of me
tal, in the rough, were required for their construction.
In their style ond finish, they arc similar lo En
glish built engines, only that in all their important
parts, they are believed lo b'! much stronger. Our
first built engines of this character, had suflioienl
strength, bu' not stiffness enough. To remedy
these defects, heavy cast iron has, to a considerable

MONEY MATTERS.
The demand for money for business purposes Is
stesdily inrreoalnyl In" New York, and other north
em porn. Thlfdsmand I met freely by Banks and
Private capitalists, so thai thc rale of inters! lias
not increased. The accumulation In the Sub-Treasury
of specie, to the amount of three and a , half
millions ofolfars, iti New York nloneja calculated
to annoy the banks and depress ths money -.market.
But they have abouf eight millions of specie yet in
their vaults, which keeps them in a situation of com
parative ease. The New Yprk Spectator says:
"Thus while Ihe general aspect of business may be
considered favdrablt, It ia evident that there are rea
sons which should induce the community Wt to
place too much confidence In the continuance of an
easy money market for six months lo come, merely
because such has been ilscondiilon for six months
post. The experience of formcf years has shown
ilmt it is easy, under an abundant money market, to
nccumiilato so largo an amount of obligations as
speedily to Increase Ihe rale ol Interost and destroy
confidence In t ommerrial paper, from tho apprehend
ed results of the speculatiyc tendencies of all class
es, when they have become sufficiently developed lo
ailed prices materially."
Speculations on our owq a flairs would be but idle
declamation. The unprecedented pressure in the mo
ney market here, Is but very little abated, though wc
may certainly look for belter times from the com
mencement of tht Fall trade, which is now at hand.
. Ncw-Qbljeaxs, Sept: 19-11 A. M.
YesTerday there were 600 bales Cotlorf sold. Pri
cis were Irregular, but holders firm.
" The steamer Globe, from Brassos Santiago, reports
that a tremendous gale wag experienced there on the
13th nnd 14th insts. Several small, vessels dragged
their anchors and wee driven out lo sua. One wus.
sunk, and others were much Injur d.
The Clintonia Wright has arrived here from Rio
with 300 bags of new Coffee, b; ing tht first cargo
this season. It Is held at 8J cents.
Whiskey has advanced to 23 a 21 cents.
CROPS.

The accounts from the interior of this State con
tinue unfavorable lo the gr-jwint crop. The bolls aro
falling from the stalk in the first growth, und the ar
my nnd boll worms arc making their appearance iit
many quarters. West of us Ihe roporis nre that
ihrsi: wonn are making great ravages, and holding
their way eastward. Altogether the advices from
the t oiton region upon the gulf arc somew hat wor
