CoNsT.A.Exmorta, Dec 12.

Yesterday morning some stock-jobbers combined with a few in- triguers of Galata, and pushed speculation for a rise to such an ex- tent as to cause a general panic. The Government immediately took the necessary measures to re- assure the public mind, and to arrest the further prosecution of this nefarious attempt. The panic is completely allayed, and perfect calm prevails to-day in the capital. The Government has received most satisfactory news from Omer Pasha.
