(From the ►Wall-street Journal.)

Friday Evening, May 7, 1869.

Wall-street has been excited all day, the sudden ad-
vance in tho London Money Market, creating much un-
easiness among the holders of Government Bonds and
certain railroad stocks. Cable reports quote Five-twenties
variously at from 78 to 781 which is a decline of to 18
from the closing figures of yesterday, and 1 to 2/ as
compared with those of yesterday morning. Luropeau

capitalists continue to invest largely in United States
Railroad Bonds, and among those recently introduced on
the Frankfort-on-Maine Exchange, we notice those of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad, California Pacific Railroad, and
Bockford, Rock Island, and St. Louis Railroad Companies.
Miscellaneous stocks are generally quiet and neglected.

LITERARY.—We have just been having so gr t 0
a journalistic scandal in this city—a scandal with°ll.e.o
parallel, so far as we know, in the history of the Amer the
press—that, in comparison with it, almost any event in
it
world of journalism seems like a ripple beside a vrafe,:x is e
is, however, a noteworthy fact that tLe London Rer' ,
just. dead. We may say that it is dead ; it has been me god,
in the Examiner—the journal which Leigh Hunt fours the
and which, though less known over here tbanvtics
London Review, was always a better paper both in P°:tl
and in literature. It was not so much better, boweVer, ",d,
its consent to the merging need have been difficult to ebt,31,0
But what was moors: in the unregrettod Loadonl?eviex t-ra
its insufficiency was its soli sufficiency -though that vi° ,
is not wide enough eitLer ; it was apt to seem i° bbeis
cheaper sort of Saturday Review, and the tone ichicso iS
nearly intolerable in the latter paper was often quite its
the fernier. The Saturday's vulgar sup 3reiliousece4'esg,
prejudices and wilful misunderstandings, its snlatto,o
which often suggests the brilliant satirical youavi oe
fresh from the university, and which get it the aPP tioll
of its worst readers, can be borne with a coasideredir
of the ability, courage, and real learning which it,ree
plays about as constantly as it displays its dies; is
able traits—that is to say, the cases are fe o'll
which it dons not approve I itself learned, viols
and nobody's servant. But, in comparison It of
its exemplar, the London Review was like that ev,0.00
505.....1 ....s.. Rnesliolz.m.n which- sa. good authority matter,
to be wholly unendurable by gods or men, and the tecill
with. considerable unanimity, will acquiesce cna!eniPoeie
in its decrease. It was as disagreeable as preteoil°: t the
must he. It sounds as if it might be true enough brlers;
paper had the assistance of some of the Saturday 11°4 the
1, se
but they wore not the best, we may be sure; and of i'• calor
contributions may very likely have been such as the 'Ol4
day had declitied to receive, or such as even the I,cliOs
would not have asked it to accept. One symptom Of nie VA°
of the London Review found its way into the papers e„° 101"
or three months ago. The firm of T. T. Clark and u°,ti'ir 65
publish a good many valuable works, as most of 0 e ll
rical readers know, discovered that books' which theioo9
sent to editors for notice might pretty regularly he,ojers"
shortly after on the stalls of the second-band uct or;
Thereupon they marked their " editors' copies," sn/t eitr
not long in finding which paper was the offender. .1 rep .3
addressed to the editor called forth no more civi, solo
than that their books were worthless, and 06:` worht
without being reviewed because they were 0" t the
reviewing—a reply which, doubtless, was nos, tilo
truth of the matter. So far as now apP6s,r4all"4
English weekly press is all the stronger, 3.,e ",dotr, 0
both honesty and ability, for the demise of the .t,°'„cso,„
also for that of the Reader, which perished some tw" tir
ago. And, as the weekly press is furnishing perheq 1:0
most influential portion of English literature, We lain' esi'
glad to see it weeded of its weaker and less worth? f lite:
bars. There is still the Athenaeum, with its fund ° t tl°
rary information ; and the Saturday Review, to woo 0,
Athenaeum's continual blundering in criticism ; and tire°
solutely honest and candid, if somewhat too ethercesaior
somewhat whimsical, Spectator, to supplement the 001:
day Review by doing justice and showing merc,',,f VI
eating the higher morality, and setting an exan3Pc'e7o
refinement as distinguished from superfineness.--c' - ~,
