A despatch from Washington states that Brigham
Young is only acting sa Governor of Utah until a
successor is appointed, Col. Steptoe having virtually
declined.
General C2II has published a letter in a Detroit
paper, defining fully and clearly his views upon
Know-Nothiogisin and the power of Congress over
the Territories. He has no sympathy with the
Kuow-Nothing organisation, none whatever; neither
with the means it employs, nor the objects it seeks
to attain.
News from Great Salt Lake City to the lit of July
has owns to hand. The grasshoppers had destroyed
the third crop of grain, and starvation or an aban-
donment of the esttle;nents were the alternatives
presented to the Mormons.

prominent physicians state the yellow fever to be tast

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
htiatiev 27.-The two days following advice' of the 21st
instant were milked by the same inactivity and hesitation
then noticed. Since then a somewhat livelier demand for
money, altboug freely supplied, has imparted to stocks
ally a downward tendency, our market being quite
sensitive, on account of the discount line cf our banks
being thought by acme to be rather emended. The dis-
cline, has, however, been attended with a return of activity
is the more speculative kinds of railroad shares. It may
also be remarked that the nresseelloweref some songuillaz in
sonnet theStaterstotkrommely feiViridella Viand in Minoru'
6'e, were mostly effmeed on time, variously at the pleasure
of the buyers and sellers, and at wide differences, Indicating
a el/position to speculate, even *song some of the more
enlostaatiel stocks. The demand for United States Sizes.
1867-68, continues good, at 118. Inciana Fives fell ;
Virginia Sizes, t Missouri Sizes, f • mid Tennessee Sizes
rose per cent. Some Ohio Size*, 1860, were sold at for-
mer rates, in amounts of some importance. In City and
County Ronda the demand continues limited to small
amounts, and with scarcely say special transactions to notice.
The same remark' will apply to railroad bonds, which are
transacted at private sale. At the public board Illinois
Central Construction Bonds alone have been active, with a
gradual decline of 11 per tent. Some Brie Sevens, 1871,
were sold at former rates. In other kinds transactions were
most limited. We quote New York Cent-al Sizes down 1,
the Sevens ; Erie Sevens, 1862, 1 ; Illinois Freeland
Bonds, per cent,. • and Brie Seems, aid Mortgage, up 1;
and Hudson, Ist Mortgage, 1 per cent.
lo railway shares the decline is general ; it Is 2on Cleve-
land end Toledo, f on Illinois Central, lf on Michigan Cen-
tral, lf on Michigan Southern, 21 on New York Central,
21 on Reading ; and Brie' after touching 541, closes at 62k,
Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati nee 1 per cant. With
a more active demand for money, we have no change to
make in rates-say 6 to 7 for short loans. There is a little
more paper offering at 7 per cent.
Reengage' on Europe are not abundant, bat the demand
is quite limited. Principal sales on Lcauoa, 1091 to 110 ;
on Paris, 5 121.
The bank statement shows a falling off in specie, amount-
ing to over one million and a quarter. The lest steamers
from California have brought about 2,000,000 dole. in gold
on freight, a large portion of which is in coin, bars, and
slugs. The detection of fraud in the 66 dol. pieces, and
other private coin circulating in California, will have a ten-
dency to send moat of it into the crucible.
Corrox.-The market closed on the 21st inst., as advised,
without animation. During the past week the demand has
again been very limited, the total sales being estimated at
4,000 bales, chiefly to spinners, at irregular price', the de-
taine varying fern to to 11. on middling, to f to le. on the
better d. scriptions. tiolaers have offered eparinely,weiting
a renewal of the shipping or speculative inquiry, and in this
unsettled state of the market, it is cnnsequently difficult to
give reliable quotations. The Pacific advice, of 10th inst.,
from Liverpool were received on the 22nd instant, noting
salsa of 38.740 bales, at a slight decline early in the week,
which, however, was recovered at the close (the extreme
rates advised ner America, on 3rd Mee., befog sustained).
Wes on the 9th, 8,000 balm. On the 101 h the market was
indented ; sales, 12,000 bales, at hardening prices.
