The London Times, in an editorial on Mexican affairs, argues that Napoleon will ' peaceably withdraw sooner or later, and urges America, for the interests of all A-oncerned, to quietly await the result, and . abstain from inconsiderate expressions on . the subject. The JJaily Neies says that thc absorption American stocks throughout Enropo has .atelv been more extensive than ever before , and this is one canse of the de n of English securities.

LOUISVILLE, January ll.-Money has be? come very stringent, and exchange is taken at ?c. discount and sold at par by the banks. Gold opened in New York, yesterday, at 39, and at noon was 38$. It was bought at 36 and sold at 88. Bank of Tennessee is bought at 40c, Union Bank at 60 and Planters' Bank at 56. Southern money is very dull, and consi? derable amounts are on tho market, but it is only bought at reduced rates. The Secretary of the Treasury has framed a financial hill and handed it to the Com? mittee on Ways and Means, which provides for funding all tho obligations of the Go? vernment in forty year bonds, bearing not less than 6 per cent, interest, payable in gold. This movement accounts, says the Cincinnati Gazette, to some extent at least, for the general break in the New York stock market to-day, as it foreshadows a funding process which Wall street has been slow to believe possible, but of which, nevertheless, it has been in daily fear. Thc long bonds proposed to be issued would be very popular abroad, and their sale for foreign consumption, while it would contract the currency at homo, would also depress the price of gold. Tho theory of Mr. McCulloch is, that every step toward contraction would enhance the price of bonds in Europe, and would, there? fore, counteract any depression in our own markets that might result from a contrac? tion of the currency. The responses lrom England and Germany to the Secretary's report fully sustains this theorv, and shows that the funding process is likely to prove much easier than anii-eontractionists would hu.ve it appear. Yesterday wai one of the dullest of the season in the cotton market. Under un? favorable advices from New York, buyers dropped down to 40@41c, at which very few sales were effected. In grocerii s, transactions have continued active in all leading articles. Coffee. 31? 34.J. Sugar continues at former quota? tions. Flour continues unchanged", not? withstanding a decline in the Eastern mar? kets.
