Pecukiauy Distress in tiie West. The newly settled States and Temtoiius have felt and are now feeling the financial pressure hardest. The specula, tiye prices put on western lands and town lots, kept up by emigration for years, is now meeting a reaction, and the lands are coming down, and they will not sell for cash at one-tenth their previous supposed value. A citizen of Iowa, hearing of the large amount of money in the east that was laying idle, has a letter in the Tribune of the 1 7th, urging eastern capitalists to send their money west to loan on mortgaged security. ' Ho represents that ten or twenty million dollars could be used in this way to advantage. As many others in the west have the same view of the matter, we copy the comments of the Ttribune on the communication of the Iowa writer, as the general view taken by eastern capitalists of western investments We are glad to state here that we believe Indiana is better off in this respect than any other western state, the bulk of our people have their lands free and unincumbered, and depend on the product of the soil to relieve them from all temporary liabilities. We print elsewhere to-day a letter from Mr. C. L. Clausen, of Mitchell County, Iowa, elucidating the pecuniary necessities of the great West, but especially Minnesota and Iowa, and setting forth reasons for his faith that Eastern capitalists may safely and profitably mitigate the prevalent distress by making loans on the security of Western Real Estate. We trust Mr. C.'s statements will be carefully considered by those to whom they appeal. If Ten or Twenty Millions of Dollars could be borrowed in the great atlantio cities by Western debtors on the terms suggested by Mr. Clausen, we have no doubt that great relief would be instantly experienced, not in the West only, but through the whole country. For that money is wanted to pay pressing debts, most of which are, mediately or immediately, debts to the East. Twenty Millions of Dollars of Eastern capital loaned on Western Bonds and Mortgages next month would mainly come back to the Cities in payment of debts, having passed through many hands and satisfied debts in its progress. It is our pressing interest, and that of all others on the seaboard, that this relief to the AVest should be afforded. And wo have not the least doubt that three times twenty milions might be loaned at the West this Autumn at good rates of interest with such security as would insure the ultimate payment of ninety-nine dollars in every hundred loaned perhaps more. But there arc, notwithstanding, serious impediments to such loans, which must not be overlooked. Among them are these ' 1. Those who have money on the seaboard wish to place it where they can reclaim it just whenever they may want it. Here, for instance, is a guardian or trustee who has several thousands of trust funds in his hands which he will be required to pay over next February or July, or perhaps at a future day not yet determined. He wants to make the money earn something while it stays with . him ; but he must, as a first consideration, be sure not only that the loan will be safe, but that he can certainly reclaim it just when he wants it. He will lend it, payable on call, on a pledge of United States or New York stocks, at five or six per cent interest, when he would not, must not lend it on Western land secuity even at twenty per cent. no matter though the security be "eventually good" for ten times the amount of the loan. So with merchants, who have thousands of dollars laying in bank, with which they intend to buy sugar, or coffee or tobacco, or dry goods, whenever they shall think best. These will lend "on call," or even for a short fixed term, upon a pledge of stocks that will produce the money at a day's notice, at a low rate of interest, when they have not a dolar to lend on Westeren lands at any rate. Our Western friends will please understand, then, tliat there are Millions of dollars awaiting investment here which the holders not only will not but cannot lend on Western land securities. These securities are not readily convertable they are slow and our few rich cautious capitalists who have money to lend for a term of years naturally prefer mortgages on property with which they are acquainted on which rents are payable and paid in cash quarterly which will readily and surely bring hard cash to the extent of at least seven-eighths of their estimated value, rather than to lend on the security of distant tracts or farms of whose value they know little, which seems subject to violent fluctuations in the amount of cash for which they can be sold, which are not certain to pay promtly even the interest on the mortgages, and which it is notoriously a hard and slow work to convert into money. Is this preference marvelous ? Even if it be, it does not the less exist. H. Our correspondent says "the crash came without any warning." We do not like to contradict him, but the fact certainly is that the columns of this journal have teemed with warnings of it for ten years past. This "crash" was morally certain from the hour that the Tariff of 1846 became a law, establishing the manufacturing districts of Great Britain as the ultimate markets for our Grain, and thereby dooming the farmers of the Mississippi Valley to grow Grain for the price it will command in England, less the cost of transporting it from the fields to the great British markets. The opening of the gold mines of California and the negotation of Railroad loans in Europe postponed the day of reckoning for a season, but only to render it the more trying when it did come. If Mr. Clausen will turn back to the files of The Tribune for the Autumn of 1851, he will find there the "crash foreshadowed in a series of essays which some future Strauss may very naturaly insist must have been writen after 1857, they depict the events of that year so accurately. Again, throughout the spring of 18-56-7, our "warnings" of "the crash" were frequent and emphatic. Mr. Clausen should have said that "as it was in the days of Noe," the "warnings" were unheeded until "the crash" rendered further heedlessness impossible. III. Mr. Clausen says nothing can now be sold in his section for money at a higher rate than "one-third to one-fourth the value of the article." That word "value," Mr. C, how deeply have you pondered its meaning ? If a thousand bushels of corn can only be sold in your section for $ 250, how do you establish its "value" at $750 or $1,000 ? If vou only mean that, under a very different state of things, with no heavy balance due from tin's country to Europe, and our Metals, Wares and Fabrics being produced on Lake Superior, on the Mississippi and in New-England, instead of being largely imported "on tick" from Old England, the "value" of your Iowa property would be thrice what it now is, we understand and agree with you ; but that the "value" of an article to-day should be $750, while all that could be obtained for it is $250, we do not so readily assent to. IV. Mr. Clausen avers that the farmers of Iowa only need small loans to carry them through to "better times." We hope this is true ; but we cannot help observing that better times do not grow they have to he made. "Better times" were formerly experienced 'n Iowa, because the East was prosperous, hopeful, and constantly sending off colonists with full pockets to the West. These colonists bought not only lands and improvements, but Grain, Meat, &c, at prices thrice as m'gh as they could have been sold for in the absence of such emmigration ; but now this migration is measurably arrested by the hard times, and those who do migrate cannot take with them $100 where $1,000 went in former years. Instead of buying land, teams, food, tools, &c, to a liberal extent and at good prices, our emigrants of '58 are luckey if able to buy an axe, a pow, a plow, and a few other primary necessaries of existance, by means of which to keep soul and body together till "better times" shall really come. The money that this class formerly took with them paid for goods as well as lands, and kept trade thriving ; now there is little to be sent away but Grain, and that has to be sold at prices which will justify its exportation to the East in effect, to England. So long as this necessity shall exist, we hold that the "value" of Grain, &c., in Iowa is indicated by present prices rather than by those which prevailed there two or three years ago. ' V. Mr Clausen's demonstration that Western real estate affords good mortgage security for loans, would have been more conclusive if he had omitted his statement that property now sold there at public sale "will frequently not bring more than one-tenth of its real value." That statement tends to frighten timid personsfrom lending one-third or one-fourth of its estimated value upon it. , VI. Mr. C. seems to admit that Western people have been too sanguine, too enterprising, and have

thus involved themselves too heavily in debt; and his remedy is, in substance, the "hair of the same do"" that is, a little more debt. Well, we dont object to this Homeopathic remedy, but we would not have too much reliance placed upon it. A change which would tend to open coal and iron mines, and start forges and factories on the Illinois, the Rock and the Des Moines, or even revive those of Pennsylvania and New England to a state of pristine activity, so as to create a home market for our Grain and Meat, and thus insure better prices to Western growers, would do infinitely more tor them than borrowing. We believe in Credit give Credit live by Credits but it is Produce, not Credit, that pays off debts and terminates pecuniary embarrassments. We have known a man to succeed by borrowing $100,000, without getting out of debt by it. ,' ; A MATRIMONIAL SPECULATION. A story is current, and said to be sustantinlly true, of a matrimonial speculation, in which the widow of a former prominent citizen of the countv, residing in our sister city of Ypslianti, was principle" actor. Finding herself sole possessor of a fine mansion and a dowery of $10,000 yielding an income of seven per cent, but finding her income insufficent to keep up a style proprotioned to the magnificence of her dwelling, she naturally enough and sensibly enough, had her plan proved as fortunate in the sequel as it was happy in its conception concluded that, as her house contained ample room for two, a matrimonial alliance which would add to her own income a moderate amount toward the support of the household, would be proper and desireable. Accordingly she became the wife of a getleman of standing and some reputed wealth, residing in Detroit. During the great financial crisis of last Fall, however, his wealth vanished into thin air, and this or some other cause produced discord. To make a long story short, the lady promised to endow her uncongenial lord with half her fortune if he would

but take himself off. 1 he otter was promptly accepted, and the $5,000, consisting in stock in the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad Company, was made over to the husband. The story goes that the lady regrets the hist trade, and would be glad to get back the $5,000 without the gent. ' 1 . ,-... - Daguerreotypes.

Our Wheat market was rather more excited this week than should harebeenparliespaid as high as a dollar a bushel for wheat; we muy quoto woeut from 85 to 95 cents for strictly prime. Flour has advanced since our last quotation, we made Bale good extra superfine at $5.00 by the hundred barrels, there i8 no quotation for Oats as it is too poor for any use. Corn declined 10 cents on account of the large stock going into the Cincinnati market, the arrival was too much to remove in time for return of corn, to day Corn has advanced to 45. Bacon has declined i on sides. The amount of Corn shipped per day has ranged from 3,000 to 4,0(10 bushels, this will help our farmers and will c luse a buoyancy in that S3, 000 per day will do a little towards starting trade. His going to be a hard matter to get good flour this year out of the present crop of wheat, un. less the millers will select the wheat. I saw a sample of flour to day at the United States Milliug Company, which is a credit to our milts, should they make such for retail it will do.
