MONEY AND BUSINESS.

(From the ►Wall-street Journal.)
FRIDAY EVENING, November 5.

Business, both in and out of Wall-street, continues to be
slow and unsatisfactory. Failures continue, the latest of
which aro Baldwin and Co., dress goods jobbers, 325,
Broadway, and White, Heath, and Co., cloth jobbers, 29,
Howard-street. The New York Gold Exchange Bank
proposes to resume business with undiminished capital
provided the Gold Board consents to clear its gold through
that source. In case the board does not consent it will
remain out of business until December 7, the time of the
annual meeting for the choice of the directors. Money on
call is easy at 6 per cent., with exceptional transactions at
5 and 7 per cant. Discounts continue difficult, and first-
class names sell slowly at 10 to 12 per cent., while "No.
2" range from 14 to 20 per cent., with little doing. Gold
has declined this week to 126 i, but closes to-day at 127.

Foreign Exchange is lower, and the demand for bills is
quite moderate.

In the tables published in the New York Journal of
Coon mere', giving the movements of the leading articles of
produce at that port since the beginning of the current
year, as compared with 1868, the most striking feature is
the wonderful in3reaso of wheat and wheat flour. Tha
receipts of the former in the ten months of the year are put
down at 17,868,817 bushels, against 9,173,030 bushels in
the same time in 1868, and 6,098,128 bushels in 1867 ; and
the receipts of the latter reach the very large amount of
2,645,951 barrels, against 2,240,361 barrels in 1868, and
1,900,089 barrels in 1867. The exports of wheat in the
ten months foot up the enormous aggregate of 15,736,279
bushels, against 4,628,703 in 1868, and '2,706,691 in same
time in 1867. The exports of flour have been 1,258,243
bbls., against 816,429 bbls. in 1868, and 659,636 bbls. in
1867. With this heavy increase in these bread items
should there not be further cheapening of flour?

(FROlt OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

ROUE, November 19.

The ex-Duke and Duchess of Tuscany, arrived
yesterday at Civita Vecchia by the Messageries Im-
periales. Their Imperial Highnesses were received at
the Roman station by the ox-King and Queen of Naples, the
Counts of Trapani, Girgueti, Caserta, and Bari, and Miss
Willes, with the ex-Duke and Duchess of Parma. They
will reside at the Palazzo Campanari (Tre Canelle). •

The Pope received the Grand Duke this morning with
great affection. His Holiness visited the church of Santa
Andrea Della Valle on Sunday, and inspected the newly-
restored chapels, which are richly encrusted with marbles
from the Emporium. Signor Visconti hopes to extend his
researches on the Aventine very much this year.
Small deposits only have yet been laid bare, and it is
thought that very large stores of precious marbles are still
hidden among the marl and earth along the Tiber. An
immense quantity of marbles, cut into broad logenzes,
have been recently found, evidently hewn roughly for

pavements.
Intelligence of the most reliable kind received here puts
the fact of Mgr. Lubienski's having been poisoned beyond
doubt. The horrible act seems to have been committed in
consequence of a violent expression of the Czar, taken
au pied de la lettre by his agents and carried into execu-
tion, as were the words of Henry 11, in the case of Thomas
a Becket. The Emperor's health is fast sinking, in con-
sequence of his unfortunate habit of drinking, which has
completely shattered his nervous system, and is bringing
on softening of the brain.
The Bishop of Orlean's pastoral has given the greatest
satisfaction here, and is being translated into Italian to
appear in the Civilta. It will, in all probability, close
every chance of Mgr. Dupanloup's succession to the See of
retirement.
The Archbishop
rcohn Cardinal
bishopof B on
Avignon a ld' sapproaching
wibe the Imperial
nominee if, Cardinal Bonaparte is unwilling to accept the
dignity, and a more unpopular divine at Lyons could
scarcely be conceived.
Great hopes are entertained of union with the Armenian
schismatic Churches, which of all the separated Eastern
sects, have shewn the most disposition to treat with the
Holy See.
Mgr. Maret has addressed a letter to the Bishop of
Rodez, in which he states that, far from withdrawing his
book, he is preparing another to defend it. The funds
for this, as well as:of the preceding publication, are under-
stood to be supplied by the French Government.
Of Sicily you will hear strange news in the course of
1870. The island is organised as one man in a vast con-
spiracy against the Government, and for the autonomy of
the kingdom of Naples, with a separate Parliament and
constitution for Sicily, and the restoration of Francis 11.
on both sides the Straits of Messina.

The official rejoicings at Naples have deceived no one
acquainted with the people, and the Neapolitan aristocracy
have abstained en masse from all participation, and are
sending magnificent presents every day to the Farnese
Palace for the birth of the hoped-for Duke of Calabria.
Strangers continue to 'arrive, but there is no press as
yet, in consequence of the enormous prices asked for
houses, and especially for carriages.
The races have received the authorisation of Govern-
ment, and will be held at Roma Vecchia in the spring.
Prince Borghese is the steward.
The Gazette di Terino of this morning states that Victor
Emmanuel refused to sign the retractations exacted by the
Cardinal Archbishop of Pisa, or rather that the paper was
snatched from the priest by the Prince of Carignano and
torn up, and that the danger being urgent the priest
administered the Sacrament, and also performed the rite of
marriage between the King and his mistress the Contessa
Rosina Miraflori. This reconciles the apparent contradic-
tions in the various statements which have appeared on
the matter.

MISCELLANEOUS .NEWS.

Minutes plat 8 o'clock on Thursday evenly me tact
of the difference in the time not being consi ered worth
mentioning. Nov it would be important to know
upon what authority our bombastic contemporary
made its statements. Not only Mr. Peabody's death,
but also his biography, appeared in the London
morning papers on Friday morning ; whilst by the
agency of the Central Press, the news of the great
benefactor's decease, although it occurred close
upon midnight, was wafted to nearly all
the principal newspaper offices in the provinces
within two hours after the breath left his body. We
have before testified to the extraordinary spirit
shewn by our American cousins in newspaper enter-
prise ; but we are not yet prepared to admit that
they are the solo powssors of journalistic energy.
