houses, and the merchants are sacrificing their property in vaia struggles to meet their payments. There is growing impression in Wall street, that the Philadelphia banks must soon suspend. It is also reported that a great anxiety exists in Philadelphia for the New York banks to take the lead in such a movement. That cannot be, however; the New York banks are in a situation which is impregnable, until the depositors withdraw their deposites-an event which is probable only in case a high premium for specie is created in Philadelphia by a previous suspension of the institutions there. There are many of the speculative class of dealers who are anxious to bring about a suspension to ease their own affairs.We are not, however, apprehensive that such will be the case The many suspensions which have recently taken place are principally of badly conducted institutions, among which were the following:-Middling Interest Bank, Boston, Jewett City Bank, Conn; Essex Bank, Guildhall, Vt.; City Bank of Detroit, Bank el River Raisin; Bank of Darien, Geo.; Chelsea Bank; Willoughby Bank. There is every probability that many of the Southern Banks will suspend in consequence of the delay caused to the crop by the prevailing sickness. The indebtedness of that region to New York is of such a nature, being old debts, that it is not depended upon as present means. In Philadelphia and Baltimore, however, large Jebts were accumulated last spring which will trouble the banks of those cities unless they can be realised. Should the delay of southern payment carry them to the point of suspension, New York may be obliged to follow in her wake, more especially should the news by the Liverpool be as gloomy as is anticipated.

State of Trade. The sale of dry goods advertised for today by John Haggerty & Sons, consisting of 194 pkgs, was but a sorry affair. Tle attendance was very thin, and the goods went off very heavily at prices mach lower than at former sales. The dry goods trade generally is very quiet at this moment. The latter part of the present month is looked forward to by the tr de with much confidence that a good business will be done. This impression is warranted by the prosperous state of the inland navigation, and the large movements of produce, the arrivals of which at Buffalo, during the month of September, were as follows 25,027 bbls. 168 239 bushs. Flour, Wheat, " 14 646 1,197 kgs. Lard, Corn, 453 bbls. 181 000 Staves, Pork and Fish, In this market, cotton is quiet. In flour there is more firmness, in consequence of the decreased arrivals. Holders are stiff at $5 75 a $5 87}.
