"I wish to say, emphatically that there is no basis for the reports that a great financial disaster is impending in Great Britain. It is golle notre that any important banking house li la danger, save one, and the affairs of that one are now In hand. As for the chartered banks they are all sound, to far as I know. There have bern great leases,, it is true, but these lossen have been spread over large numbers of persons, and as a rule the losses have been already met and paid, leaving the losers poorer, but still solvent. There will be a few fallares, of course but none of any importance-none that could affect the money markets.
The result of the great losses in South America and elsewhere has been to bring people to their acpics. Speculation has completely stopped. The difference between the wildness of last year and the depresion of this is the difference between convex and concive-where there was a bit there is now a hole. The people are poorer and wiser; that is the truth of the matter. The talk about a coming panic is unfounded. There are two ways la which losses can come upon the market; one Is the acute ferm of panic, the other is the "watered for, dullness, lack of speculation and distrust. As I said before, the losses are already known, and, in most cases, already paid. One of the good results of the syndicates, trust com panies and the like, is to divide losses among the multitude and so prevent crashes."
It would not be fair, says the Interviewer, to quota Mr. Lidderdale too particularly, but he gave me many details during our conversation showing that the financial situation is sound. I' am in a position to say on my own responsibility that Baring Brothers occupy a strong position, When the Bank of Englandtook the affairs of that great house in hand fullabilities were about 12,000,000. At present Baring Brothers owe Less than half a million pounds, although there a llablity to the Bank of England of £7,000,000. This liability, however, li no way concerns the public. The Barings' affairs were found to be la an entirely solvent condition, a mere matter of getting time,

BERLIN, August roth.
The Fretsinnige Zeitung says that Professor Esmarch, the distingutshed mrgeon, has been called to Kiel from Berlin to attend Emperor William. The Kreus Zaitung declares that the Emperor Is suffering from a dislocated knee bane, and that the greatest care is necessary in Its treatment.
The Government has decided to establish a complete telegraph system on the German East African coast, and to-day officials started from Berlin for Alrict, where, immediately upon their armiral, they will proceed to organize the system.
The Cologne Gansité' reasserts that Emperor William is in robust health, and adds that he now uses his leg easily and will be able to dis pense with the doctor after a few short ses trips.
By the capairing of a boat eff Danzig to-day the captain, Heutenant, surgeon and two cramen of the Germanman-of-war Zitten were drowned,
It is understood that the Emperor, immediately on his return to this capital, will consult the statistics prepared at his special request regarding the population of Alsace and Lorraine. A num ber of statesman and national economists will be lovited to a conference, and means devised to stop the alarming emigration to France, which is amounting to about 7,oco yearly, and draws millions-tu fact all the ready money, from the coustry. It has been thought that the pomp of the court established at Strasburg by the Garemor, Prince Hohenlohe, might tend to make the people content, but that plan is pronounced a failure, as is also the extreme affability of the Governor, which does not seem to impress the people as it was intended to do.

NEW YORK, August, 6th. -
On Friday evening the steamer Calckmire arrived hers from Marseilles. It was to-day learned, for the first time that when but one day out from that port the soft coal in the burke was discovered to be on fire. The captain gare orders that the strictest secrecy was to be observed, as if the news spread among the passengers it would be impossible to avert a panig, Immediate steps were taken to quench the fire. Day and night, for ten days, heavy streams of witer werp poured upon the plies of coal and the deck above It. The caplain and cae were on almost continuous duty during that time, and when they arrived at port were completely worn out. None of the passengers had any auspicion of the danger, nor did they learn of it until the port was reached.
SAN SALVADOR, August 9th. The Pacific Mall Steamablp Company, by its Autocratic dealings with this country, has got itself into trouble. Its pilps have sole control of all the traffic between the Central American States and the United States. The custom has been to load these vessels at night, so as to make quicker time to meet the terms of the subsidy for carrying the malls. The rates charged by this company are excessive, and Central American countries bave been much put out over the way they are treated. As maiters stand they can derive more beneft by sending their imports to Germany than to America. Reciprocity schemas will not do any good so jang as things remzalis as they are at present,

The agent took it for granted that confiscation had been made because of soms violation of the bealth laws, but, to make sure, inquired by lélegram if that was the case Minister of Commerce Amaya telegraphed the following reply: "The City of Panama did not leave La Union without permission of the Health Board, as you say. She did, however, leave without the requisits permit from the authorities of the port. This has led to the ruing of said steamer, and in consequence she has be declared confiscated. We are carrying out in this matter the same doctrine that the Walled States have applied in the case of the Hafa of the Chillan rebel squadron,

The Committee of the Stock Exchange are advertising broadcast that members are not allowed to advertise and yet it is a fact that the system of employing "runners "what the French call "remissiers-causes more mischief than thousands of whole-page advertisements These runners are selected from alt grades of society-half-pay officers, young gentlemen moving in good society, and club men depending for their living on half commissions.
