COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The advices received from General Rosencranz
since Monday have favourably affected the gold and
exchange markets, causing rates to recede from the
extreme rates of that day. The closing quotations
to-day are—Gold, 36i prem. ; Exchange, 1381, ;
Stocks inactive—New York Central, 135.; Erie,
107 - ; Six per Cent. United States Bouds, 107.
Cotton very firm. Flour and wheat steady. Corn
improving. Provisions heavy. Coffee quiet. Saga'
steady.

Panic in the North on Receipt of the News.

"Manhattan" says that if Burnside and Rosen-
cranz are attacked their defeat is pretty certain.
The rebels are in spirits, as well they may be, while
our forees that went into the battle, confident of
eating Bragg up, are completely dispirited. It
must be so. We know that fact here as well as it
is known by General Rosencranz in Chattanooga.
We must expect to hear of Southern victories until
next May. In the summer the Southern troops
feal more lassitude than the Northern, while in the
winter it is precisely the reverse. It is the Northern
troops that are ineffective, while the Southerners
are braced up in their systems, end are eapable of
doing wonders. Again, we are to have a long period
of suspense as to the future of the large army in the
South-West. The effect of the late news is ter-
rible to witness. Men of business go through the
streets with clasped hands and their faces distorted
by agony. Crowds stood from early yesterday
=ruing until late at night watching the bulletin
boards, hoping to hear a few items of cheering
news. It came on bad—the air breathed it bad;
and the favourable news sent on by the Govern-
ment, and the favourable construction placed upon
the news by the newspapers, has not had any effect.
Men of capital despair. They had hoped that the
Federal armies would march straight on to victory,
and that the capture of Charleston would be fol-
lowed by that of Mobile, and that Richmond would
surrender still later—to be followed by a general
getting down upon their knees by the rebels asking
for forgiveness. All these dreams are evaporated.
The stern decision of battle has made it apparent to
all these hopers of victory that this war is far from
ended. Tennessee will be recaptured : it is a
necessity of the fall of Rosencranz. The hopers
now see that the South will have the best of the
game for a few months. They can only be met by
raising another million of men in the North. Wall-
street and capitalists shiver when they think of
such a fate, and know that raising more men is
about played out. Greenbacks have ceased to be
believed in.

The Sacred Harmonic Society (remarks the
Reader) has issued its announcement as to the apprOach-
ing season. The most welcome bit of news it embodies is
to the effect that the misunderstanding with Mr. Sims
Reeves has been arranged.
THE GRAND " FIND" OF UNPUBLISHED WORKS
BY BEAUMARCHAIS.—The recent discovery of seven
volumes of MSS. in the handwriting cf the celebrated
author of the " Mariage de Figaro" in the shop of a London
bookseller is likely to give ns considerable insight into some
of the more secret social facts preceding the first French
Revolution, as they contain several volumes of correspon-
dence. M. Fournier, who first discovered them, thus writes
to M.Thierry, Director of the Theatre Francais, respecting
them :—" There is among them a manuscript of the ' Bar-
bier de Seville;' another of the 'Mere Coupable,' with
numerous variations in the handwriting of Beaumarchais;
another of the piece of the Faux Ami,' which afterwards
became Les Deux Amis.' You will, moreover, have nine
or ten pieces completely unknown—comedies, one in three
acts in prose, and another in one act in verso ; comic operas,
farces, &c. Add to this a whole volume of songs and music
noted by Beaumarchais himself, a volume of literary corres-
pondence, one of diplomatic letters, and another relative to
the affair hitherto so mysterious of Beaumarchais and the
Chevalier d'Ecn ; and, if you conclude the purchase, you
will possess the richest part in the manuscript inheritance
of Beaumarchais." M. Thierry immediately accepted the
terms on which the bookseller proposed to sell the manu-
scripts, and they are now the property of the Theatre
Francais.
