MONEY DIFFICULTIES IN VLORENOS. F.'crence June ll) Correspondence of London Kews, 1 he iratter ot the bunk note difficulty Is still caus ing infinite troub e and discontent. The wav in winch the pcop e endure the aunovanoo and the loss s somct' iug really marvellous, and taking the motive of their forbearance into consideration, is truly admirable. Indeod, the evil grows worse. I hrs morning tbe small notes were at seven per cent , and not to be had at that price. In a former letter 1 tpoko very severely ot the conduct ol the Govern ment in this matter. But a long conversation on tho S ibject with a gentleman high in office has lod me to neiieve that the shortcoming ot the Govern ment docs not go beyond the faults of negligence, inexpcrtness, and Improvidence. The dieadiul loss which has lallen on the oommu m y, and all the suffering which hat been occasioned seem to have been due io the conduot oi the fahonal Bank, and not to that, ol the Government The latter (in a very grout and inevitable huiry) oonoludei a bargain with the bank, by the terms of which it was providt d that tbe 'after should lend tho Government two hundred and titty millions; that tbe bank should issue noies to this amount, freed lrom tne obligation o' paying them in gold; that those notes stiuu d be gun ran teed by tbe King's Government; and that the bank should be paid interest at the rate of one and a half per cent, per annum only. No word of provision was made tor ihe due suoply of tbe circulating medium when it shou'd come to pass as ot couiee it must have boon known that it inevitably wou'd come to pass that the gold and silver thou d obey the law oi their na'ure in the iae.e of such enac'ment as tjat juct named, and disap pear. Ao control wt atsoever was reserved to the Govern- rnciit over the mode or naturo of the emission of notes. And tbe bank ban acted in the matter with a most t erlect disregard of the interests of the coun try, and tbe most cynical insensibility to any con sideration save the interests ot its sliarebo'dors. And these mart have made out of the neral dwire. a very rich "sood th ug" indeed 1'erhapa toe bauk was acting "according to the true prino ple ot bank ing;" and perhapB, if I were a shareholder, I should leol that it bau done so. But the discredit which it has thrown upon the Govcrumo.t has been very gieat indeed, and very mischievous. Tae laugrs of Italy. From the Iievue des Deux Mondes, of Paris, July 11.

Tbe Money Crisis. Rl PORTED EFFECT OF THE ENGLISH PANIC ON AMERICAN TRADE THE DRAIN OF BFBOK TO XU ROFE AND THE GOLD MARKET IN WALL STREET. From the London Globe (Evening), June 13 Ihe monetary crisis in London of May 10 and 11 as artially echoed in the United Statei on the arrival of tbe t'uta at Haiilax on the 21 tt The return mail brought two aooouuts oi the first effects on American trade, which may be rel'ed upon as coming, not from bnallsb visitors, who wou d be likely to gain only a superficial knowledge of such sudden events, bat lrom independeur American w. iters, whose clone agreemout in narra ton of facts is a good guarantee ot their oorree nets, Bjth letteis bear date Hay 26. We have also telegrams up to June 2 It appears that in the course oi three da t upwards ot two nu lions sterling in gold were shipped lor Englan i, that in Ihe course ot a fortnight the whole amount ex,;orUd wa notices 'ban four millions, and that duiing the m nth of May nearly six millions had lett the country. No wonder the premium on gold rose fast Before the delivery ot the news brought bv the Cuba the quotation was 129 or 130; this was on the morning of Monday, the 21st. On the fol low ing Wednesday the price was 139, and on Frldar 111, lrom which it has not lallen This rise occurred notwithstanding gr at efforts on the part ot tho Gov ernment to check it by sale of bu lion to the ex tent of fi e millions ster'ing. Ihere is always a large amount ol gold aoou mulatto in the Treasury, and tbe secretary habitually employs hit command of it te prevent, a tar as possiblo, fluctuations ia ibetretnium. ine wors among the many mtschie s of an inflated paper circa ation is tne disturbance of foreign eon tracts, which is occasioned by variations in theoioe ot go d. An American merchant, having to remit to London, must either send oills or gold, and tue basis ot any contraot be makes must be the oo t of seuding gold, sinoe uills arenotai vata to be had. Now, in Lonoon a merchant always knows before hand, pretty nearly, what it will oo.t him to tend gold to any part oi the earth ; tut in New York be does not know even within tea por ceut bow tnuoa he will uave to pay, in the paper money with which his own creditor i u hi their obligations to him at borne, for bullion to export to Europe This is the danger ana the ob tacle to oommaioe whto i Mr. Uo Cullooh Hies to correct by filing his resoryes when tbe market uses and baying when it fails. It may be a proft able practice for the Treamry, and it may be expedient in the Interests of trade, but a system which necessitate it must be terribly de moralixinr. In consequence of the fralu oi gold, money became toaree in Wall street, that it to say, borrower! were numeioai and their demands great, hl!e lenders were fov and their sup illes sma'i, B ooks lell. Ihere nero a lew failures and much anxiety, but no panic, and no'hing approaching a general collapse. The correspond nt of t ie Sjecta tor ot serves that he tnd others have not'eed Ameri ca! t to be less exc tablc and apprehensive under such cm ums anccs than Englishmen, aud we have sum where lead the paral'el remark that in Liverpool there is more calmness and eool-headeduess than in Lend' n. Perhaps the difference is that Lon on is tar the most subjoct to the in flutnee ol unprofessional uaders aud speculators, tirtry folks ho dab ie in stocks and share i with their little Fsvings or ric ir men who work their cs, ilal through other people's brains; and those are more liable to igrorant and unrcfl -ct ng alarms ti an the experienced oommunit es of L'vorpool and Ntw Yorx. lint, a tor all, we do no. kuo what would have happened in N.'W York last month except for a reliel essentially s'm Jar to that aflorded to I iverpool and London by the s ispension ol tho Hankie. In Loth caiet the Government was the Jhu$ ex machina. In England some millions of the Bank of England reserve were delivered over as a piey to the urgent borrowers; in Ame ioa the Trea sury boaid was produced fur the same purpose; ato the amount of the boon wa aoout the same, VI ben the Bank of England reserve was tailing last it was acknowledged that there mut bu a limit to this artificial distribution of capita1. A return ot the crisis was narrowly escaped here t and it will not be wibo to be too sure the, are cear of it yet in America, for the Treasury cannot sell five mil. ions sterling oi gold every e:k Although New York may be too wise to fall a victim to a senseless panic, still It is not exempt now, any more than in 1867, from wide-spread commercial disaster. Al) na iots among which mercantile credit is libe rally expanded are liable 10 periodical collapses of credit. Panic, we suspect, in the proocr accepta tion of the urm, that is, uuieatonab e and universal teiror, is a far more rare event. As usual, it is very difliculi to distribute effects to causes now in operation in tbe comnrc al affair of America It is stated that at the very beginning of the war prices ol commodities le I. Then came tbe I: sues oi paper which, including the nitlonai bank circulation, but not that of Ihe (Southern States, reached 178,600,000 in November, 1864 At tbat time prioes had doubled and go d was qnotod at about two hundred and sixty. The extreme quota tion o(to hundred and eighty-five lu the July pro ceding was attributable to the uncertainty oi tbe war, the abortive Gold bill, the change ot fluanoe m niBter, and such like accidental clrcumstauoes. La ely gold has lallen to one hundred and twontv loor, the issues are reduced to about 110,000,000, and tne Southern States notes are obliterated. Prices of commodities, however, remain aboul the same as in November, 1804 It might nave been ex pected tbat the contraction ol the money would have maue its purchasing power greater, and com modities therefore ohoaper, especially as this reult is to nianiftst in the puce oi bul ion. 1 bere must be some counteracting influence, some changes in the relations cf supply and demand, to pievent this cheapening, if it be reiliy the tact tbat prces genei ally are as high as tney were eighteen months ago. Probably, accurate statistics would show that bullion is not literally the only article which has fallen, but that manv oljects ot luxury, at ali events, aie similar. y affected by tbe improve ment ot the money, lu the market tor tbe of necesarics ol life, and goods of ordinary consumption, and in the la' or market, much allow ance must be made lor t e consequences of a change f iom peace to war. As the waste ol war diminishes, the country enriches itte'f This alone won d to far to preven a a fall ot prices. When the return to spec e payment approaches, then indeed, it not sooner, there is likely to b) lomo convulsion, but thai all prices do not at onoe find tliolx level is not very extraordinary.

Quotations In Gold 10-30 A. M., 154; 11 A.M., 153i; 12 M., 154; 1 P. M., 154. The New York Tribune this morning says: "Money Is excessively abun lant at E6 per ocnt., with ioai.8 npon tioverumeut stocks a 4 percent. Commercial paper of piime chatao'er is wanted, and can be uted at ts8 per cent. 'National Bans currency is very plonty, and In variety of issue exceeds belief. Until something is done to reduce the volume of this curreno. tnere can be no return to St eele payments. The leadiest modea of reducing tae earrenoy won d be found in oCoring a special loan In exchange lor legal-tenders and eomponnd notes. Wit i 900,000 000 of legal tenders and compound hots luudou there would be lorotd upon the national system a more conservative policy. Among its first fro Its won d be reliet ir:- the notet whioh now embarrass the' banks in the Atlantic clues. A part of this embarrassment is caused by tho refusal of thu New York Cny banks to make heir settlerrem. la iational notes not redeem au e at (-citled points. 1 he banks have a pencct nbt io ao this, but they make a distinction not ap preciated by the mass of the people and one which cannot be made popu ar. The merit ot the Na'lonal enrrtnet with the pen; lo lies in hiving $100 in United States stocks plefigtd for every 8W of curren cy, and nobody thinks oi lookiug to see liat Smith, or Jones, or Brown writes hit name as President or Cashier. Tne names oi these geut emen art of cer tain value and, locally, are ot proat importance to the gentlemen writing them; but the publio honor tbe bank otes ' ecauso thev are guaianteod by the Covernmeut. and are paid by it whim the banks is suing it got into trou'de. This currency is good enough to pay ba'ancos at the Clearing House, and tbesoonor it is used tho better." PHILADELPHIA sroCK EXCHANGE SA'iSS T)-l)AY iteported by De Haven & bro.
