(From the Springfield Republican, Jan. 23.) NEW Yonx, Thursday Evening. The money market was active this morning, at 7 per cent. on call, but later in the day capital was more plenty, and the market closed easy at 6 to 7 per cent. Prime busi ness paper is discounted at 7 to 9 per cent., but there is not much doing at present, The assessor of internal revenue for the district, including Wall-street, claims that the Government tax on the capital of brokers extends to money borrowed by them on call. The members of both boards of brokers and cf the gold exchange have taken steps for testing the validity of this very singular claim. The Express says the bears of Wall-street are disappointed at their failure to break the great bull speculation on the Stock Ex change, by hounding the Legislatures of several Western States after the railway, and inducing them to reduce the fares on the roads. The leading railway shares were freely offered on this programme. The bears are now smarting under this new defeat, and preparing to resort to the old trick of locking up greenbacks. There has been considerable consultation to-day, and a movement is on foot to lock up $25,000,000 of greenbacks. The parties to this new combination comprise many who were long of stock on the great Erie lock-up and panic of Oct - her. Sterling exchange is quiet, at 1091 to Mt. Gold is dull. It opened at 1351, declined to 1351, and closed at 135 i to 1351. The clearances at the Gold Exchange Bank were $43,000,000. There have recently been some heavy purchases by stock operators to cover gold borrowed in December against stock collateral; and which they sold to get currency. There are rumours of a lock-up of gold. Government Securities are dull, but steady; State Bonds active. •The railway market opened firm, but declined soon after, and with fractional reactions so continued until one o'clock, when prices started, and subsequently advanced, closing strong. The special fa vourites were Rock Island, Reading, old Southern, Pitts burg, Pacific Mail, Canton, and Mariposa preferred. Ex press shares were active and higher this morning, but closed with a decline of 1 to 2 per cent. from the highest point. Pacific Mail fell nearly 3 per cent. on the pressure of sales, but recovered before the close. The sub-Treasury receipts to-day were $4,841,815, payments $3,112,229 ; balance $85,652,994. (From the NC9O York. Tribune, Jan. 23.) Money worked easily at 6to 7 per cent. on call. Go vernment brokers were offered large amounts, which they were unable to use, and the offering to stock houses at legal rates was in excess of their requirements. Commer cial paper is easier at 7to 9 per cent. The rumour that another lock-up was to be engineered in order to break the market appears to be without foundation. As a specu lative movement, affecting stock operations, this artificial mode of affecting values may be justified, but past expe rience proves conclusively that it has but little, if any, effect on speculators, but causes distress to every mer cantile interest in the country. Brokers go into the mar ket and pay the rates asked, while merchants are unable to negotiate their paper at any price, and the movements of all legitimate business are stopped for the benefit of a few money-lenders. Congress has taken action upon two bills which should be immediately passed in justice to the public. Ono is to stop the making of loans upon green backs, and the other is to change the mode of making the quarterly statement, allowing the Controller of the Trea sury to call for a statement at any time he may choose, instead of having one day for all the banks to make their returns, as is now the case. Sterling Exchange is active at an advance of per cent. on quotations. London, 60 days, 109: to 1091; London, sight, 109 f to 1091 ; Paris, long, 5.161 to 5.15 ; Paris, short, 5.132. to 5.121; Antwerp, 5.171 to 5.161 ; Swiss, Z , .171 to_ 5.161 ; Hamburg, 36 to 361; Amsterdam, 41 to 111 ; Frankton, 31 It , -- zrmureuf ro-g• Po; 711 to 711. At the last Board the market was lower on the general list. Michigan Southern was strong at 951 to 95f ; Toledo and Wabash, 62f. St. Paul stocks were weak. The Common sold at 701, and the Preferred at 921. At the close the market was steady at quotations. Governments closed firm. (From the Philadelphia Public Ledger, Jan. 22.) The increased stringency in the New York money mar ket on Tuesday and Wednesday caused some little uneasi ness in this market yesterday, though we have no mate rial change to notice in rates. It is intimated that the New York movement was artificial, and was initiated by stock speculators, with a view of bettering their operations in stock gambles, but that money at New York is not really scarce, nor is there any proba bility in the natural course of trade balances of its becoming scarce there for some time yet. This market, however, is in such close connection with that of New York, that any steadily maintained move ment there will be an influence here. Some few excep tional loans were reported there they the day before yes terday at 7 per cent. in gold, but subsequently the rate de clined to generally 7 per cent. currency. In this market we continue the quotation of call loans on Government collateral at 6 per cent., and on apprDved miscellaneous collateral at 7 per cent. The discount rate for prime A 1 paper with the bill brokers is Bto 10 per cent. The stock brokers' loan balances at the legal rate of interest. Our banks, as well as those of New York, by their weekly statements of averages, show abundant means at command to meet all legitimate business demand upon them, and quarter-day is too remote to have any special terrors in the present. They are in a condition to make money, and they will no doubt avail themselves of the opportunity. Thera was a fair amount of business in stocks yester day, and the more speculative stocks showed a further advance in prices. Government loans were unsettled, some classes of bonds advancing i t to s, while about an equal number declined as much. Major Robinson, United States Consul, at Strass burg, left last week for New York for a three months' visit. General G. S. Dodge, United States Consul, re turned home last week from Brooklyn, New York, bring- ing with him a wife. S. P. Dewey, Esq., of San Francisco, now in Paris, gave a handsome dinner at the Grand Hotel last Saturday to some twenty American families, among which were General John A. Dix, American Minister at Paris, Hon. A. G. Burlingame, Chinese Envoy; Mr. Murphy, Consul-General at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, ezc. It is reported at Washington that the Hon. E. B. Washburne is studying French with the idea of coming to Paris as American Minister. We know many friends are urging him for the place, that he can have it if he desires it, but how can we spare the bull-deg of the Treasury from Congress ? —the honest, fearless, faithful representative who stands up so boldly to combat all schemes of plunder. Mr. Washburne has hats of friends in any station he may occupy. General Dix has expressed a desire to return home next spring. Theodore F.

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last annual general meeting a report was made to them for the quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of £208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d. SURPLUS FUND ACCOUNT, 30TH JUYE, 1868.

HENRY ROSE, The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466 9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £131,811 14s. 9d. —raises the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d. The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the rea li se d assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, bo in cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances aro £14,596 Is. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re-assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 54, per cent. on the total income. The balance-sheet is as follows : DR. LIABILITIES.
