 The South America, always one of oul quickest ships, arrived below early this mor- ming. Her dates from Liverpool are to the 16th, and London of the 10th inclusive. Al London their last dates from America were of the 9th of April, although the packets of the 16th had arrived at Liverpool from New York on the 14h. The great failures in the United States were unknown. It appears, however, that they had anticipated trouble, and number of bills are returned in the S. America, among which were a large number of the Josephs The Bank of England con- tinued to grant aid to the three American houses, and no failures had taken place. The Bank had refused to grant the aid asked for by the Manchester and Liverpool merchants to advance on merchandise.

 The cotton market was in demand. Hol- ders firm, and prices fully supported. No sales of turpentine or tar, and very little change in any other article of American pro- duce. The South America has brought a goodly number of passengers, but light cargo or freight, There is every prospect that the Liverpool ships for some months to come, will not bring many dry goods The ships must fill up with salt and coal. The money market in England was easier. Con- sols, the greatest barometer of the English market, kept up astonishingly high.

 Sign of the Tines.-At public dinner giv- en to MT. Wise, at Williamsburg, Va. last week, President Dew of William and Mary College, being called on for a toast, spoke as follows:

 President Dew being called on for a Toast, said he would tell an anecdote by way ofin- troduction and explanation to the sentiment which he should give. He said that among the characteristics of the interesting people ofIreland, was the peculiarity in thought and expression, whichoboth in speaking and Wri- ting in great things, and little things, leads to the frequent perpetration of that species of blunders termed bulls. He stated that he had somewhere met with an account of the bill of an Irish farrier presented to an Eng fish nobleman, couched in phraseology which had suggested the Toast that would be offer ed. It ran as follows:

 'Io curing your honor's mare until she di- ed 12s. 6d.'

 MT. Dew then proposed: The monetary system ot the United States, cured to death by Doct. JackSon-Alas poor Yorick!

 The foresight of great mind-Henry Clay in the Senate, on the 18th of February, 1885, speaking of the measures pursued by the Admlnistration, in tampering with the cur rency and interfering with the finances, said: "Ihere being no longer any sentinel at the head ot our banking establishments, to warn them, by its information and opera tions' ofapproaching danger, the local insti- tutions, already multiplied to an alarming extent, and almost daily multiplying, in sea- sons ot prosperity will make free and unres- trained emissions. All the channels of cir culation will become gorged. Property ,oill r'se ertraragantly high, and constantly looking ,tp the temptation to purchase ,0iH be irresistible. lnordinate speculation ,oiU ensue, debts aciu De freely contracted, and chen the season of adrersi ty comes, as come tt must, the Banks, acting without concert and without guide, obeying the law of self-preservation will all at the same time call in their issues; the vast num- Der will exaggerate the alarm, and general distress, 'oide-spread ruin, and an explosion ot the 6anking system or the establishment 9 q rIe~ BGnk ot the '. s. sciu be the ultimate effects" Rather Seuere-The Hon.
