He fell instantly, but his wound is not considered fatal.

The other Bhissengame ran an mud the tents and shot at Pharr with a double barreled shot gun, but missed him. The line of tents was about thirty stejw from the preaching arbor where the sen ices were going on, and the whole affair occurred iu the midst of men, women and children, to the iui iiiineut danger of innocent persons being killed.

The following extracts, from London papers received by the Europa, possess much interest, and therefore we afford space for them iu this morning's edition From the London Tint. Oct. 9.

Thcrsday Evening, Oct. 8. The Bank of England have advanced their rate of discount to day from 5M at which it bjQl stood since the lOtit of July, tot) per cent. The suddenness of the renewed drain of gold which has led to this step, has taken the public by surprise, because they were notpre fiared for the extraordinary news by the two ast Anlerican mails. Allowing due weight to that intelligence, there is nothing iu the movement to create alarm, although there is a high probability it may soon have to be re eattd.

The trade of this country with the Cnitcd States represents an annual totid of anil it is iii. iose.ible for any tiaan al trouble to occur on one side without being uecpiy leu on tlie otlier. During tlie last two years we iiave had many opj ortiuiities of oi serving the sensitiveness with which we resj jnd to monetary perturbations in France, but our relations of commerce and capital with that country arc altogether insignificant iu ci li'j at'ison. A panic in New York, therefore, which sends tlie rite of discount to a point r. between 0 and 50 and wl.

ch is continued with intensity for five or six weeks, innst necessarily subject us to severe temjmr.iry pressure:" aud if the inconvenience should be limited to a rise of a half or even one per cent, in the value of money we shall have reason to congratulate ourselves, and to accept the fact as another proof of the inherent soundness of our general position. For more than a month past not only has every payment due to us trom America been as far as possible suspended, but special cie iits 1 ave been eagerly made use of, calls on railway stocks largely held here have been amioui.ct'd iin one case aione for an amount approaching a ipiiirter of a million sterling), lend drafts authorized for the purchase of sc urities by English capitalists, tempted by a fail in prices, lrom which they conceive tiiere cannot fail to be an early reaction. It is i.rri too mi.c!i to as. uirie that in thm way a'li'iilioii or a million and a half sterling has Let already withheld, or absorbed from us, that would otherwise Lave been in our possession at this moiuent, aad tiie prospect is that, the process will go on for some time longer. It must also be considered tiiat at the period we have been despatching the most costly fleet of rransport ever mployi at one moment with thirty or rty thousand troops, to India, the which iu the shae of stores, fuet, car.noi have fa'It much short of half a million, for which we nhall get nothing until tin; return of the vessels from Calcutta, as the p.

tymems from the Indian Government will l.Ot Le muue certain number ot daysat'ter tlie arrival oi tne vi sscia at that iort. Ihe India Honse, at home, moreover, in order to lighten as far as possible the liabilities of the territorial Government, are abstaining from itrawing the usual amount ol revenue reumred lrom that side for tlie payment of dividends and other purt oses, and have thus found it necessary to borrow a million from the Bank Upon the whole, therefore, it is possible that the combined ojieratiou of the American panic aim the inuian insurrection may lor the time Lave anecreu onr resources to the extent ot two or three millions. A decline of about a million in the bullion of the bank is usually followed by an advance of a half per cent, in tl rate ol discount, it would consciiueiitl see in tliatthcseudverse have lorue upon us to three times that amount, mitrht have caused a rise of one aud a half per and that it is only through some favorable counteracting circumstances that that result has been delayed or These are to l.e toiUKt in tne a' i umlaut harvest ami thts change in the silk market, as well as in the sut plies of Indian produce, which has in some decree diminished the sjiecie shipments by the last and the preceiling overland mail. Had the relief thus aHordecl happened in ordinary course, we should now probably, have seeu the rate of discount at 4 jer cent. As it is, it has simply enabled us to limit tne rise tor the pieseiit, at all events, to 6, instead of currying it to 7 per cent.

Under these circumstances, this is no small satisfaction but tiiere is reason to believe that, even if further stringency ii, i should oe expenencea, we are not, iu any uan irer of seeing tlie approaching winter ushered in by a very extensive series of commercial disasters. Jt course, the American laiiurea must have told heavily on individual houses on this side, aud there are also several branches of costly produce which have experienced ide fluctruitious that may disturb the casual fortunes of speculators. There are likewise at all times a number of inlirm establishments carrying on their business from baud to mouth, to whom a rise of a half jier cent in the rate of discount after any long period of pressure is an inevitable sentence of deetruction, aud it is usually at the end of the year that bach casts are developed. But as regards the broad trade of the empire, it is imporvsibie to discern a cause of fear. Month by mouth our commercial payments increase in magnitude, and yet are met with a punctuality never surpassed, aud all the leading bankers will testily that, thus far, there is an absence even of those premonitory symptoms which invariably warn them of tlie jossibility of a coming struggle long before the community at large have become awakened to it.

Hence the belief may be confidently indulged that, although, with our universally ditiu ed transactions, we must necessarily participate iu every shock that, occurs elsewhere and there never was a time when prudence was more easentiai our commercial prosperity, notwithstanding the Sepoy mutiny, is destine! still to continue a marvel to the world. The letters by tbe last American steamer, while they show that the panic has assumed proportions which the most timid had failed to contemplate, contain nothing to alter the view that fright alone is the main cause of tlie daily ruin and that there is nothing in what is now passing a nich will for any length of time interfere with the business or cripple the natural resources of the country. From the London News, Oct. 9.3 The question of immediate iuterest is, will the rise in the value of money in the London market make further progress? Upon this point no one can speak positively, but in many well informed quarters we find an impression gaining ground that still higher rates will prevail this autumn. In every quarter to day, including the Bank itself, there was a very heavy demand for accommodation at the advanced rates.

In Lombard street this afternoon, only the best bills could be discounted at 6 per cent. It is satisfactory to remark that no more gold was to day withdrawn from the Bank for exportation but this may be partly owing to the arrival of a large supply of the precious metal via Egypt. Iu many quarters fears are expressed that remittances of irold to the United States may take place, and we have reason to know that some of tne provincial bankers, perhaps out of excessive caution, have already withdrawn some of sovereigns from the Bank. The resource of that establLshuient have been so reduced in tlie course of the last ten days that any excep tionally heavy demands upon tbeiu would proi ai.iy toe met by a further rise iu tiie rate cf discount. From one or two facts whiuh have transpired it is inferred that tiie Bonk will refuse to renew loans on government rnrities after tbe reojsr niug of the trtnsfer books.

From the point" at A'hlch wi hare ti cs briefly glsnct d. ir, wiil ie tifar tliere commercial commnnity. Notwithstanding the extent of the crash on the other side of the Atlantic, it is hoped that corWdence will be maintained in the general stability of onr roer cantile position; and, assuming thin, there is) nothing necessarily suggestive of alarm in high rat of discount, as the experience of the last two or three years abundantly demonstrates. From the London News, Oct. A Brit' in addition to the elements of disturbance involved in the rise of the value of money on the Continent, and in the demand for capital to defray the'expendirure incidental to the Indian war, the extending monetary panic ia the United States is sufficient of itotvif to prejudice our own financial position, instead of our receiving gold from America, as we have been acenstomed to do for years past, it is becoming a question whether gold will not be remitted from this side, for the fall in the exchange is so considerable as almost to allow of the operation.

It is obvioas that, at the present time, when prime" commercial pa er cannot be discounted in New York below IS to j4 per cent, per annum, ami when there is a. tuahy a premium on specie in some of the Western cities, every will be made by American houses to sioiie the payment of their debts to this i omit ry, and to attract capital. English' firms wiil likewise avail themselves of the oporrunity to employ money in the American markets at such extraordinarily high rut.es. the same time, imorts of' British, (goods will be greatly checked, and shipineii.s of American produce stimulated, if necessary, at reduced pnees. As a considerable aiiioiiiit of railway ijid other securities an also absorbed "bv English investors at the depreciated ipiotalioil'', it will I only prudent to loos tor a proloiik'ed de paressioii of the between America, aiid England.

AilMuices on ltail way The decrease of neuriy in bullion, in nice of the usual aver.ure monthly expenditure in the shape of premiums, forms a very discouraging featnre. If the drain continue the Bank will probably raise the rate' of discount. It will Ire remarked that the circulation has at the same time increased half a million sterling, ihe Bank having largely extended its discount accommodation.

The 'increase in the loans on Government and railway securities is not large, but that anv increased facility's of this description should lie accorded in matter for surprise, considering the aspect of monetary affairs throuiriuiut Eurone. Tlie Gov ernment deposits have been reduced by the payment of the Sentemlierdividendsoti the fonr and four and a half jer cents rentes, and tlie same event has contribtired to the large addition to the private depo 't.
