There is, however, an excess of $3,012,619 in the ex-

according to present appearances there will be an excess
of exports for next week.

I notice a further increase in the stocks of cotton at
Southern ports ; and by the best information it seems pro-
bably that the receipts from the interior during January
will continue on a liberal scale.

stock was scarce, and as much as three-eighths of a dollar

Bonds and State Stocks there was more demand, and quo-
tations were firm.

Gold showed a declining tendency, being last quoted at

The interruption in telegraphic communication with the
provinces has much interfered with the transaction of
business in the London Market for American Securities
during the past week, but on lower quotations of gold
from New York there has been a decided improvement.
United States 5-20 Bonds have to-day changed hands at
664, but do not leave off at the highest point, the final
quotation being 651 to 66. In Illinois Shares the business
has been very limited, but they close steady at 76 to 1.
Erie Shares have been in request for shipment to Now
York, and on the week exhibit an improvement of more
than $l, closing 571 to 1.
There has been a slight reaction from the recent ad-
vance in Atlantic and Great Western Bonds, but the
Debentures remain steady with a fair demand, at former
quotations. The paid-up Consolidated Bonds are 781 to
791, ox the quarter's coupon due 15th inst.

PRESENTATION BY FRENCH WORKMEN TO THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.—A Paris correspondent says :
o I mentioned last summer that the Pharc de la Loire had
opened a subscription in its columns for the purpose of
presenting a medal to the American Government in com-
memoration of the sympathy evinced by the working
classes throughout France with tho nation on the murder
of President LINCOLN. The subscription was limited to
one sou, and 5,000 f. was the sum required. This has now
been realised, and on the 84th April the ceremony is to
take place of entrusting the modal to Mr. Cu. THOMAS,
ex-editor of the National, and intimately connected with
America by his gigantic commercial transactions. Mr.
THOMAS will be the medium of transferring this interest-
ing memorial to the Congress."

Dr. Roler, who was a surgeon in General Sher-
man's army during the grand march through Georgia, is
visiting the various hospitals in Europe, with sperial
letters of introduction from the United States Secretary of
War. He is now at Berlin.

The widow of Stonewall Jackson supports her-
self and child upon an income of $l5O per year, the rental
of a small house. She was recently in Baltimore, and was
loaded down with substantial tokens of the esteem of the
people, and by a benefit at a Mobile Theatre also secured a
little money.

1820. 1860.
Great Britain's eight cities 2,250,937 5,151,192
France's capital city 760,000 1,667,811
United States' fifty cities 570,010 4,000,793
In Great Britain the increase ratio of the country popu-
lation is about 4to while of the city populationit is 4-
to 9. In France the increase ratio of the country popu
lation is 4 to less than 5, while of the population of Paris
it is 4to almost 9. In the United States the increase ratio
of the country population for the same period, although
rising to 4 to 12, is outstripped by the increase of the
population in cities, which is 4 to nearly 29.
But not only do cities oustrip the country in their
growth, but great cities outstrip the small cities. In Great
Britain, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, and Bir-
mingham have increased in their aggregate population
from 539,066 in 1820 to 1,651,075 in 1860. London, in
1820, had 1,373,947 inhabitants. The same ratio of in-
crease as those five cities have enjoyed would give her in
1860 about two and a half quarter millions, but she has
gone beyond that mark by half a million, just enough to
make a city of the size of Manchester, the next largest in
the kingdom, :and in 1860 had a population of 2,750,000,

. _
Glasgow, the chief city of Scotland, has increased three-
fold in the same period, far surpassing its rivals, while the
country has increased fifty per cont. Dublin has risen
from MAO tf.1,140,000 steadily, despite the fluctuations
of population. In the United States the uniformly more
rapid concentration of population in the great central
cities at large is still more strikingly manifest, as thus :

A Fenian Anibassadress in Liverpool and

Dublin.

A good deal has been said, and not a little has been be-

lieved, to the effect that the Fenian movement has been
crushed out in the British Isles by the vigorous efforts
made by the imperial Government ; but the stubborn logic
of facts emphatically contradict that pleasing belief. It is

,rue that tho means of written communication between

the members of the Fenian Brotherhood, as well as the
more dangerous transmission of money and munition of
war, have been all suppressed by the steps adopted on
behalf of the authorities ; but this has not by any means
prevented the transmission of intelligence and advice as
to the mode in which the movement can be most effec-
tively promoted both in America and in Ireland. In point
of fact, it is scarcely a secret that agents or " ambassa-
dors," as they are styled, pass weekly between Liverpool
and New York. These parties carry no documents of any
. .

kind of material or articlo by which the officers of Govern-
ment could identify them with any treasonable purpose,
but they aro supplied with such instructions as enable
them to communicate orally the wishes and behests of the
leaders of the movement, as to maintain a mutual under-
standing, and a completely consentaneous course of action
among the parties on both sides of the Atlantic. In Liver-
pool it is also an ascertained fact that a gentleman of con-
siderable attainments acts as kind of charge d'affaires to the
body, receiving and despatching property to accredited
agents to and fro between this town and New York. A
new phase of this guiso diplomatic arrangement has just
made itself known here. In course of last week, a lady-
like person of engaging manners and prepossessing aspect
arrived in Liverpool by one of the steamers from New
York. Tho lady was unaccompanied, had but a moderato
amount of luggage for a "lady traveller," her baggage
consisting of two neat but not large trunks, and a glazed

leather satchel. She wore no crinoline, and on the voyage,
while evincing great general intelligence and good breed-
ing, spoke in disparaging terms of it and those who were
its slaves. On arriving in Liverpool she was conveyed to
a first-class hotel, where she spent the remainder of the
day of her arrival and the succeeding night. On the fol-
lowing day she left this town for Dublin, travelling via
Holyhead. Soon after her arrival the lady placed herself
in communication with the resident diplomatic gentleman
already referred to, with whom she had an interview of
about a quarter of an hour's duration. She also gave
_ _

_ -
known for bis Fenian partialities. The lady, it is said,
...was_none other th3.u.tire somewhat notorious Ellen A.
O'Mahony, who recently issued an address to the Fenian
Sisterhood of Now York, calling on them to contribute to
the very utmost of their power the means requisite to aid
in equipping a fleet and raising an army for the political
regeneration of Ireland. The history and antecedents of
this lady are also said to be both singular and interesting.
She is stated to be tho only living representative of an
ancient and much respected Irish family, but consequent
on the social and political partialities of her ancestry the
patrimonial property which she should have inherited has
passed into alien hands. For this the lady holds the
British Government responsible, and has taken strange
means, at different times, to demonstrate her wrongs as
well as her claims. Some years ago she was well known
in Dublin, where, on account of her accomplishments,
presumed sufferings, and the sympathy which her family
connections created, she was received into the best society
of the Irish metropolis. She proceeded to London after
leaving Dublin, and there her family prestige and engag-
ing manners secured for her entre to good society. Subse-
quently she went to America, and eventually settled in
New York. When the Fenian movement was commenced
in that city, instigated by her alleged wrongs, she warmly
espoused it, and being known to and respected by many of
her countrymen there, she was able to render the Fenian
cause great service in the way of obtaining recruits, and
procuring pecuniary contributions to the funds. This
made her extremely popular with the leaders, and one of
the last acts of the Fenian Executive in New York was to
accredit Ellen A. Ollahony—which, it is needless to say,
is not her name—as ambassadress from the American
Fenian Irish Republic to the Brotherhood in Ireland. To
enable her to discharge the functions of this office it is said
she has been endowed with full discretionary power, to

CUTTING rns NOSE OFF TO SPITE HIS FACE 1—
Referring to the rumoured resignation of the Un-
der Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in a huff at Mr.
Geschen's promotion, the Spectator acidly remarks • —cc Mr.
Layard's course is of no earthly importance to anybody
except himself and the electors of Southwark, but we pro-
test against the assumption that the Government is a
service' in which people are to rise by seniority. It is
bad enough that the ruling committee should be selected
only from the six hundred and odd gentlemen who can
contrive to please constituencies, but if it is to be limited
to the two dozen men in minor office, we may bid fare-
well to originality. As well say that ten years of prose-
writing give a man a claim to the Poet Laureateship."
