We regret to learn of the suspension on Wednesday, cf the extensive railroad-iron manufacturers, Reeves, Buck & Co., and Reeves, Abbot, & Co., of Pbila. Their lia bilities are about $BOO,OOO, and their assetts from two to two and a half millions. In order to meet all their liabilities of every character, these firms only ask an extension of time, and there is little doubt that this will be granted. It will be recollected that some three years ago, under a sudden and severe money pressure, these firms were compelled to suspend, and obtained an extension. Since then they have paid the whole ot those obligations, principal and interest. These firms it is known, are the proprietors of the extensive Iron works at Phceuixville, £jnd employ about 3000 men, making about 100 tons of Railroad iron per day; while their payments are about $lO,OOO per day. They are also the proprietors of the Safe Harbor Iron Works, in this county. It is understood that the works will be continued in operation. The Sugar Trade. —The fall in the value of sugar and molasses has been great within a few weekH past. The losses on the stocks on hand must have been many millions of dol lars to dealers in this country, and much more to foreign holders'. The Boston Trav eler says ; The decline from the highest point is now over 3 cents a pound, and there is a strong probability that bottom is not yet half reached. When the decline had reached only one half the present amount a few weeks since, the New York Independent estimated that on the stock of 85,000 tons of sugar and four million gallons of molasses, held in that port alone, the loss was then fully three and a half mil iiuu dollars. Of course it must he double that now, and if this loss is made on that stored in New York alone, what must it be on the vast quantits afloat, in store in Europe and in the U. Static, and the stocks on'haud in the sugar exporting countries. It cannot be less than fifty millions of dollars already, and as the tendency is steadily downward, it will proba bly reach a hundred millions before the deal ers will bo able to touch the next crop. Famine In Africa. Information has,been received at the Metho- \ dist Episcopal Mission Rooms in this city, j that there are apprehensions of a general ; failure in Liberia ; that already several of the j poorer people have died of starvation ; that • some of the missionaries on the country sta tions are without any other food than green plums, and that around some of the settlements the natives nre cutting down the palm trees, for the sake of the palm cabbage to sustain life. One of the missionaries there remarks that this state of things has been coming upon them for years, and attributes if mainly to three causes, first, the great number of idle and worthless persons in the community, who will not work and who live by beggary ; sec ond, that this class of persons is constantly increased by the immigration from the United States, numbers of the immigrants consuming a great deal and producing nothing; and third, to the failure of the native rice crops several years ago, owing in part to a bad season, but mainly to the natives 7 “ general attendance upon the Devil Bush when they should have Ibeen upon their farms. They have never ■been able to recover themselves. What rice ihas been gathered for a year or two past has toot been enough for food, so they have saved none for sowing/ 7 This is a gloomy prospect, and the missionary who gives the information—the Rev. J. Horne —predicts a yet worse condition of thing, and that “ the end of allthingsoutthereisathand The dintreso does not seem to be confined to the natives, for he commences his account in the words : “ We in the republic have been and are in a fearful condition for want of food, at some points worse than at other.”— N. 3”.
