Financial Affairs. Money matters in the East are apparently in a very unsettled condition at present. Several private firms have gone down, as also some banking estab. lishments, and a good deal excitement has been caused. The pressure does not seem to extend West. There has not been the least excitement in Chicago owing to these Eastern failures, and it is believed there will not be on this or any other account. We give the following from some of the Eastern cities: Buffalo, Aug 31. The Reciprocity Bank (late Sackett's Harbor Bank), and the Hollister Bank, both of Buffalo, have failed. Great excitement has been caused in the city in consequence, and a heavy run has been made on some other banks, but it has resulted in no damage to them as yet. New York, Aug. 29. The severity of the money pressure increases, and has extended outside of Wall Street and the Stock Exchange. Dearer rates are now paid, directly or indirectly, for accommodation outside of bank, than have been known since last winter. The very best paper is quoted to-day at 12 per cent., and good single names, which in ordinary times would be classed undoubted, are going at 15 per cent. Among the Wall Street brokers, the pressure for money on their own account is less severe than the greatly increased inconvenience of doing business through bank. The settlements, from han I to hand, are made so difficult by the new guards imposed on the certification of checks, that double commissions are fairly earned in completing the transfers, and the deposits and payments of the day. The report that the Farmers' Bank of Saratoga County has failed is without foundation in fact, as the bills have been and are still received by the Metropolitan and American Exchange Banks, as usual, and are redeemed at the counter of the Bank on presentation. Philadelphia, And. 28. The symptoms of commercial panic felt here for the last few days are dying away without a vestige of failure, although one or two of our banks were supposed to be seriously alarmed. Confidence is being established, and all commercial relations are strengthening. Among the brokers were six or eight lame ducks, whose wounds were bandaged by their friends, and they are now moving about without the aid of bank crutches. Boston, Aug. 28. Bank stocks are firm, and money appears to be in good demand.

New York Central declined 1 per cent; Missouri 6's, 1; Milwaukle and Misaissippi, 1% Erie, 1%; Reading, 4; Michigan Central, 1; Michigan Southern, 136; Cleveland and Pittaburg, 3/2. There was no foun, dation for the recent sudden improvement in vallroad stocks, and only the moel ehort sighted speculators have been deceived by it. We expect to see prices go lower than they have touched yet; but the descent will be more gradual than the last. There to a dead weight pressing upon the market. There are no shorts in the street, and the demand from that source has, therefore, coased. This interest has at all times been a great sustaining power, and the demand for the bears has at times saved the market from a regular breakdown.

What we are Coming to. The following item which we clip from the New Yorh Tribune, gives an inkling of the effect of the "tight times" on cash sales in the East, and furnishes a melancholy indication of similar sacrifices yet to be endured in the West: Mr. Alanson Robinson, Receiver of the Hollister Bank of Buffalo, sold on Tuesday a large amount of notes, bonds, mortgages, judgments, real estate, &o., belonging to the bank. The sales were made for cash down, and amounted in the gross to $16,067 45.Many of the claims such as notes and judgments, to the amount of about one hundred thousand dollars, brought less than three per cent. on the dollar. A mortgage of $2,150, secured on the farming lands of Grand island, sold for $1,700, and others in the same proportion. The Receiver's adjusted claims against the bank were taken as cash in payment for bills. The sale of real estate. under the circumstances, brought fair prices, although the gross amount of sales, for so large a share of its nesets, must be anything but flattering to the stockholders.

The effects of the Holliston Bank were sold at Baffalo, on Monday, by order of the Receiver. The Buffalo Commercial says: "The face value of the effects sold was $89,500, but the total receipts amount to but $10.919. Most of the effects sold consisted of ordinary debts, judgments, etc.; and only two mortgages were disposed of. John F. Stafford's bord and mortgage for $3,000 brought $750, and became the property of Gibson T. Williams. Charles E. Clarke's bond and mortgage for $2,000 was bought by A. J. Rich for $650; 268 shares of Western Transportation stock were sold to G. Clapp of New. York for 20 cents on the dollar." There was an adjourned meeting yesterday of the Chattel mortgage bondholders of the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad Company at Philadelphia. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to confer with the officers of the Company, reported that they had attended to that duty, and found that the first mortgage bondholders were endeavoring to effect an amicable arrangement looking to the best interests of all parties. The propositions not having been so far consummated 88 to warrant 8 conclusion on the part of the committee, further time was asked and granted by the meeting It was stated during the conversation at the meeting that the chattels of the Company cost about $380,000, and are probably worth now a half or two fifths the nominal amount of the mortgage. It is also understood that the first mortgage bolders concere the right of the chattel mort. gage bolders to the chattels, and are willing in an amicable arrangeme looking to a reorgamization of the Company, to take the chattels at their appr value. An as journed meeting of the first mortgage b >ndholders was to be held at the Exchange on Wednesday, and of the second mortgage bondholders at the same place on Tbursday. The formal opening of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad was celebrated with approprite enthusisem by the citizens of Burlington and Ottumwa, Iowa, on Thursday, Sept. 1.
