The Haytien Revolution. — The Haytien war 
vessels Petian and Salnave have bombarded the port 
of Jeremie for three days. President Salnave com¬ 
manded in person. The American, English and 
French Consuls demanded that time be allowed for 
the removal of the women and children, hut their 
request was denied and the bombardment was 
commenced without further notice. Many women 
and children were killed. All the houses of the 
city, including the Consular offices, were destroyed 
or badly injured. An attack was made on tho town 
by the land forces of Salnave during the bombard¬ 
ment, but it failed. A British man-of-war is on the 
way to Jeremie to watch the proceedings of the 
Haytien fleet, and prevent violation of the rights ef 
foreign residents, for which the Haytiena show little 
respect. The excitement and indignation in Hayti 
against Americans is increasing. This hostility is 
caused in part by the fact that the Haytien Govern¬ 
ment w r as furnished with its war vessels hy Ameri¬ 
can ship owners, and that these vessels are manned 
by Americans who do not refuse to execute the 
cruel orders of Salnave.

RURAL NEW-YORKER OFFICE. ) 
Rochester, November 10, 1868. f 
The past week has been one ol great financial excitement 
in New York. Stock opei ators took advantage of a general 
stringency in the money market, to lock np funds ami other¬ 
wise manipnlate atTiilrs until they created a very great panic. 
On Thursday and Friday the greatest excitement existed. 
From Saturday, the 31st of October, to Friday, the 6th of No¬ 
vember. a period ot six days. New York Central declined 
from I26?f to 118 K; Northwestern from 92 to 78; Milwaukee 
and St. Paul from 102H to 65>£, There was also a considers, 
ble decline In Government seem ities, which were necessarily 
thrown upon the market in large amounts to raise money. 
There was aD improved feeling In the marketSaturday after- 
nooD. and stocks advanced somewhat and money was more 
easily obtained. The improvemcDtcontiDuedyesterday, and 
it is hoped the worst is over. The New York Commercial 
Advertiser of Saturday evening, says; 
■' The panicky feeling in Wall street shows a partial abate¬ 
ment. The Secretary of the Treasury advises the Assistant 
Treasurer that he considers he ha? power to re-issue unean- 
celed greenbacks retired during the late process ol contrac¬ 
tion, and that in the event of themonetary pressure continu¬ 
ing, he shall avail himself of the authority. The Secretary 
authorizes the Assistant Treasurer to state that he does not 
propose to make any sales of bonds or gold during the pres¬ 
ent stringent condition of the money market.’ 1 
The money market Is close in Boston, and at other com¬ 
mercial points at Lho East. There Is considerable stringency 
at Cincinnati and Chicago, 'hough the New York panic thus 
far has had no special effect at the West or in the interior 
other than to Induce greater caut ou on the part of lenders 
and cause them to require greater margins. 
Gulp. — Gold during the monetary excitement has con¬ 
tinued to show a declining tendency. The demand for du¬ 
ties and I or shipment ft very light. The heavy amount 
thrown upon the market by the payment of the November 
interest helps to keep the price down. Our securities abroad 
are firm and in demand, which Is favorable to the continued 
low price of gold, bales were made in New York yesterday 
at 131^, 
Wool.—T he sales in Boston la;t week were small, amount¬ 
ing to only 000,600 lbs. The range was t4<s05e. for fleece, and 
48®54c. for the various snides ol pulled. The Boston Bulle¬ 
tin of Saturday, says: —** Wool prices are hy no means firm, 
in the present torpid condition of the market, and nearly all 
grades maybe obtained at a little concession. Ordinary lots 
of flne and extra ilcece are very hard to move except at a re¬ 
duction of 2@8. The low grades of both fleece and pulled are 
sold very close up, and sustain about previous rates. Extra 
pulled is in large stock and accumulating. Choice double 
extra fleece Is in moderate supply, and though there is not 
much demaud for it as yet, there is a strong probability of a 
scarcity and higher price* before the close of the season." 
Wheat and Flour.—T he tendency is still to lower rates. 
The following from the Chicago Republican of .Saturday, 
gives about the tone of the Western market for thelaet week; 
"Our breadstuff markets to-day, generally speaking, were 
demoralized. Advices from Eastern and foreign markets 
were unfavorable, and this, together with other cause;-, had 
a depressing influence, and as a result a decided decline 
established on all eeroals, the tnaikets almost without 
exception, closing dull and drooping,"
