There was another sentence, for which I will
not venture to trust my memory, as some im-
portance has been attached to it, and the im-
pression many have received, is that it pre-
dicated a proximate call to arms, and a certain

ROME, May 2.
You may be interested to hear some inci-
dents of the late farewell audiences of forestieri,
which escaped me at the time when detailing
more important matter. At one of them, the
Holy Father, who has in many instances shown
a great fondness, after the model of our Divine
Lord, for young children, observed as he passed
round the kneeling ranks who had come to
venerate him, a group of little ones who had
been brought to him by their friends. As he
passed back, he took one little girl by the hand
and led her all the way up the Sala to the
throne prepared for him at the far end. The
child, full of the confidence she had been
taught to repose in him, accompanied him with-
out fear or hesitation, or even looking back to
her father, but only blushing with pleasure at
the great favour of which she was the object.
Then he placed her by him to be as an emblem
of simplicity and. love, while he delivered his
magnificent exhortation to unity and mutual
accord. At its close, he inquired for her
mother, and finding she had none, delivered
her tenderly, and with a gentle caress, to the
care of a young aunt.
The devotions of the Mese Mariano have of
course commenced, and are well attended as
usual in numbers of churches ; at the Genii
in the morning, but at most others in the after-
noon or rather evening, for the Ave is now at
7.30.
I am confidently informed that the Council
will take place this year, the work in the hands
of the various commissions cannot possibly be
got through in time. Among other points of
discipline, seventeen in number, to be brought
under consideration during its deliberations,
are the question of mixed marriages, of the
measure of submission due from priests to their
diocesan, the limit to the language of preachers
in expounding the gospel.
A blind school, which among the multifari-
ous charities of Rome has been hitherto the
least flourishing, is just being started on a large
and permanent basis, chiefly through the exer-
tions of Cardinal Milesi-Ferretti. It has two
branches at present, one near S. Onofrio, and
the other in part of the building devoted for
the deaf and dumb at the Termini. A sepa-
rate house will shortly be assigned to them,
when I shall take occasion to return to the

and decisive victory.
The frenzy of enthusiasm which his few
but burning words excited was with difficulty
repressed, while at the loud stern word of mili-
tary command fulfilling the scarcely necessary
formula, the men bent the knee for the Bene-
diction, and that over, it broke out in a longand thrilling vibration, not easy to be forgot-
ten.
It is said the Holy Father is much affected
by the death of Count Crivelli, for whom he
entertained a sincere regard. It was most un-
expected ; he had gone to take a ride on
horseback outside the walls. Later in the after-
noon the Countess, who was to have driven
him home in the carriage from the Porta del
Popolo, met his horse careering towards home
with the saddle empty. She drove on of course
in all haste, and found the Count lying by the
road side. Imagining he had been thrown, she
immediately had him placed in the carriage ;
but it is thought that feeling ill, he had alighted
and died subsequently from an apoplectic stroke.
The body which will be sent to Milan, to which
town his family belongs, has been lying in state
in the Palazzo di Venezia since Wednesday. It
was carried thence to the German Church of
the Anima, making 'a great detour last night
at 8.30 by one of the most stately processions
I ever remember to have seen in Rome. First
came a detachment of dragoons, then muffled
drums, then a company of the line, next twenty
or thirty footmen in coloured liveries bearing
torches, then a score of dignitaries, among
whom I recognised Mgr. Nardi, and an Aus-
trian, Auditore di Rota, on foot, and then the
body in a handsome carriage, open behind,
with the parish priest and an acolyte bearing
a light sitting on each side of the coffin, which
rested on a cushion, and was covered by ar pall
of black -velvet embroidered with gold, the
scarlet uniform of the deceased and his de-
corations lying on it. Following this, and
each preceded by a couple of dragoons, came
above sixty carriages, two footmen bearing
huge flaming torches walking by the side of
each. At the solemn obsequies this morning,
Mgr. Vice-gerente Castellani sang Mass and
gave the absolution. After the Mass flags
were placed on either side of the catafalque,
bearing the arms of the defunct—an eagle in
chief, and a sieve (crivello) below. The church
was very full, and a distinct palco was assigned
to the corps diplomatique, as well as to the
Papal and French officers. •
Mgr. Stonor returned last night from his
mission to Madrid.
Lord Northesk has just presented the Eng-

traits of English cardinals from the Reforma-
tion to the present time, chiefly contributed, I
believe, by Mgr. Stonor.

The return of Lord Beaumont to the re
ligion of his fathers, to which I alluded a
week or two ago, is now a matter a such
general congratulation that there is no longer
any reason of delicacy in withholding his name.
As we all know, it is not the first time he has
shown his desire to take this step. The same
resolution which in boyish earnestness took him
from Eton to the gates of the Jesuit college
at Beaumont Lodge, had upheld him against
all opposition, and now that he has attained an
age when it can no longer be gainsaid, he has
openly made it good. This abjuration was re-
ceived on Thursday by Cardinal Reisach, but
he was not baptized, as Cardinal Wiseman
baptized him in infancy. Prince and Princess
Borghese stood his sponsors at Confirmation,
and he made his first Communion on Saturday.
The 13th is now fixed for the marriage of

that it fell amid the thundering applause of

whose carelessness the contretemps might be
ascribed, were hurried off to prison. This is
how contemporary history is written !

THE ENGLISH CONS7I7UTION.

The debate on the disestablishment of the
Irish Church has been prolific in the birth
of many monstrous oddities ; but,.perhaps, the
greatest curiosity of Parliamentary literature
is the theory engendered in the fertile brain
of Mr. Disraeli, viz., that " the Royal Supre-
macy is the corner stone of the Constitution,
the only security for religious liberty, and one
of the main guarantees for our civil rights."
We had always thought that our Constitu-
tion was of more ancient date than the Royal
Supremacy, which was only introduced into
English law under Henry VIII., and that its
corner-stone was laid by the Barons, headed by
Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury, when
they wrung the Magna Charta from the fears
of King Jon. The Royal Supremacy cannot
rightly be called even a part of the Constitu-
tion ; it is a law only partial in its operation ;
it affects vitally the constitution of the Church
of England and of Ireland, of which it may
truly be called the corner-stone, but not the
constitution of the realm. The Established
Church of Scotland repudiates the Royal
Supremacy ; it is rejected by the Catholics of
Ireland and of Great Britain, and by the Dis-
senters of England ; but neither Scotland nor
the Catholics of the empire, nor the Dissenters
are living beyond the pale of the Constitution.
If the Royal Supremacy were, indeed, the
corner-stone of the Constitution, we should
spectacle of the Consti-
tutionwir its corner-stone had been
tne sssurthveivin singular ula;
rejected by the majority of those who live un-
der the Constitution. Parliament and the
Crown, moreover, cannot give their sanction
to the violation of the Constitution ; and yet
the law in the case of the Established Church
in Scotland co-operates in setting aside the
Royal Supremacy, and provides for its rejec-
tion in the case of Dissenters and Catholics
by the Tests and Corporation Acts, and by
the Act of Catholic Emancipation.
But Mr. Disraeli, not content with this first
fallacy, which we are surprised, amidst all the
adverse criticisms on his famous speech, has
hitherto escaped notice, perpetrates another
still more preposterous. What can we think
of a leader among men, who passes for a
thinker free from the narrowness of insular
bigotry, deliberately affirming the Royal Supre-
macy to be the only security for religious liberty,
and one of the main guarantees for our civil
rights ? If we may not now appeal from Philip
drunk to Philip sober, we at least appeal to
the records of the past against this strange
dictum of Mr. Disraeli's. What has religious
liberty not suffered in England and Ireland
from the effects of the Royal Supremacy ? We
thought it was our business in the present day
to throw a veil over the iniquitous penal laws,
which in the name of the Royal Supremacy
waged so cruel a war in England and. in Ire-
land against religious liberty. Why, then, by
extolling that sanguinary gift of Henry VIII,
that fatal assumption by the Crown of reli-
gious supremacy, awaken painful memori,
which it is the interest of every Englishman
to bury in oblivion ? And as for the Royal
Supremacy being a guarantee of our civil
rights, why, are we not even now struggling
for the remnant of our civil rights, too long
withheld ? The Catholic Emancipation is too
recent and too incomplete for Catholics to listen
in patience to Mr. Disraeli's ill-judged lauda-
tion of that power—alien to the spirit as to
the letter of our Constitution—which far from
guaranteeing our civil rights, is even now ob-
stinately put forward as a reason for still in-
flicting an unjust Establishment on the people
of Ireland. Instead of being allowed to die
a natural death with the religious system which
it created, or at least of being kept, if no longer
as a rod of iron, yet as a sceptre of gold. to rule
that religious denomination which alone in the
realm has accepted its authority, it is now
again thrust forward as a party watchword.
Long synonymous with Tudor tyranny, the
Royal Supremacy must not again become the
symbol of religious strife. Neither the Crown
nor the Constitution ought to be involved in
party fights, or to become party cries on the
hustings. So much at least is clear, that our
Constitution existed for many centuries before
the Royal Supremacy was known to our laws,
and we believe, in spite of Mr. Disraeli's pre-
diction, that it will long survive the fall of
the Royal Supremacy and the Tudor religion.

ROME, May 9.
The Holy rather went on Sunday (the In-
vention of the Cross) to the Basilica of Sta.
Croce, according to custom, to prepare the
Agnus Dei wax. This is done within the
convent enclosure. The extent of the venera-:

tion of Catholics for the use of the Agnus Dei
may be gathered from the fact that some 25,000
pounds of wax are employed in its composi-
tion. He afterwards exposed the great relics
from the Loggia, and gave the Benediction
with them.

On Thursday, being the Feast of S. Pius
V., he went to Sta. Maria Maggiore, to vene-
rate the body of that Pontiff, which is preserved
in one of the chapels, and is vested in a lace
rochet, given by Napoleon I. to Pius VII., on
the occasion of his coronation.
In the afternoon of the same day there was
a grand assemblage of Zouaves and Gendarmi
in the Vatican gardens, to receive at the hands
of the Holy Father the colours destined for
the former by the ladies of America, and for
the latter by the ladies of Spain—the Queen
being at the head of the list. They were first
presented to the Pope by General Kanzler.
That of the American ladies is white and
yellow, embroidered in gold raised-work, with
the Pontifical arms, and bearing the inscrip-
tion Americas Matronarum, obsequium an.
MDCCCLXVII. The staff is surmounted by
a statuette of S. Michael. That from Spain is
of red velvet, with the tiara in gold embroidery
on one side, and the Madonna of Monserrato
on the other. The staff bears a bust of Pius
IX.
The little ceremony was very impressive.
Representative corps of the various regiments
were drawn up to witness the fete of their
brethren in arms, and a crowd of some three
or four thousand spectators closed round them
in the form of a living amphitheatre. The
Pope pronounced a prayer, calling on the Lord
of Hosts mighty in battle to bless the banners,
that they might be terrible to the enemies of
the Christian people, and a certain earnest of
victory. Then he handed them to the respec-
tive standard-bearers, invoking on 'them the
grace to bear thew aloft through the midst
of the adversary in the name and to the
glory of God, concluding with Pax tibi. Be-
fore the assembly broke up he addreSsed the
troops before him in his novel, simple, and
paternal manner. He alluded to the triumph
at Lepanto of the troops blessed by the saint
that day celebrated by the Church, S. Pius V.
Just as that Pontiff had been called to struggle
with and overcome the special adversaries of
the Church in his century, so it was the work
assigned to the Pope of to-day to struggle with,
and, he added, after a pause and with peculiar
feeling as if waiting for an interior inspiration
to ratify the word overcome, the special adver-
saries of the church in this century, who rage
no less furiously than those of the sixteenth.
" These two standards," he continued, " sent
us, the one from the kingdom which in old
times received the title of Most Catholic,' and
the other from a young and thriving commu-
nity of the new world, are an earnest of the

7HE STATE TRIAL.

on Wednesday, on a report that ono of its steamers bad
been lost at sea, rising, however, later in the day to 91.
Rock Island went down to 931 on Monday, and the Sun
declared that the existing complications are such that no
dividends can be declared for two years, without a corn-
promise between the hostile parties, and that their attitude
is such that little hope is entertained of a satisfactory ar-
rangement. Advices later in the week indicate a better
feeling and greatly increased probability of a friendly ad-
justment. The New York roads have fluctuated greatly,
Central being at 1241 Friday, 125 Saturday, 1308 Monday,
1271 Tuesday, 1261 Wednesday; Erie 701 Friday, 711 Sa-
turday, rising to 73 on Monday on a report that Drew had
taken a large areount from Vanderbilt at 75, on their little
account, going back to 701 Tuesday ; Hudson 136 Friday,
133 Saturday, 126 Tuesday, 1371 Wednesday; but then
nobody ever pretends to explain a rise or fall in Hud-
son, Boston, Hartford, and Erie not being anything in
itself, sympathized with something and went up to 15
at Boston on Wednesday; only the New Yorkers couldn't
sea it.. It is given out that a large force of men are
actually being employed on this line, and that in some
sections progress is perceptible. This unwonted "smart-
ing-up" is probably due to the fidelity of the State Com-
missioners. The report during the week that Eldridge
and his associates had moved to B rston excited consider-
able curiosity; but the interest did not take a speculative
turn. The immigrations and transmigrations of the Erie
directors have ceased to affect the public greatly, or the
value of the stock at all. " Wachuset" writes to the
Boston Advertiser as fullews regarding the supposed settle-
ment of the Erie controversy :—" The facts in- relation to
the ' Drew and Vanderbilt War' have not yet all transpired,
and what the newspapers, Albany correspon•lents, and
others, have said and written, is almost pure fiction. There
has been a controversy, fierce and deadly, fought with a
bitterness rarely surpassed in legislation or litigation. The
bill which passed the Legislature was contested step by step
till Vanderbilt was defeated. It was not opposed in the
Assembly, because the Erie party would have then de-
feated the city tax levy, and so have left the New York
city ring without money for a corruption fund during the
ensuing political campaign. Accordingly, the bill was
rushed through, and the Vanderbilt men beleaguered the
Executive Chamber to get the Governor to veto it. They
were mortified beyond measure that he did not." And the
New York Sun says : —" There has never been such a mud-
dle in Wall-street. The Vanderbilt, party represent nearly
three-fourths of the Erie stock, having made their pur-
chases at prices varying from $7O to $BO per share, in-
vesting nearly twenty millions of dollars : yet they are
not represented as stockholders, and a large portion of
the certificates are in the names of parties hostile to their
interest, and the transfer books will not bo opened in time
for use at the annual election. The same is true of Rock
Island. The majority of stock held by parties hostile to
the present management has been declared by the courts
an illegal issue, and of course this stock cannot be made
available to the holders in the elections."
The import entries for the past week amount to
$5,556,564, against $8,510,820 same week last year. The
export clearances of domestic produce amount to
$4,111,405, against $4,473,844. The export of specie
amounts to $1,867,231, against $710,397. The gold values
of import entries (exclusive of foreign specie) of foreign
merchandise at New York since July, 1867, have been
$195,660,021, a decrease of $29,725,521 from same period
of the year before. The export of specie since July 1,
1867, has been $17,915,476, an increase of 017,742,441
over the same term the preceding year. The Indianapolis,
Cincinnati, and Lafayette railway has concluded a negotia-
tion, by which the north end of the Louisville, New
Albany, and Chicago Railway, that part of the road be-
tween Lafayette and Michigan City—passes into its
hands. This will give the EtAltimore and Ohio Railway a
connection with Chicago via Marietta, Cincinnati, and
Lafayette.
The trade of the week improved in the line .of dry
goods, both domestic and foreign, but buyers are still
backward, and goods are going off very slowly in the
hands of the country merchants. From week to week we
have had excuses given for trade not opening as expected,
but it might just as wall be confessed now as later that
this was not likely to be a very good shopping year. There
is a blind feeling everywhere that prices ought to come
down to meet the reduced incomes of the people, and this
is exerting a very strong influence on the market. Of
course, in addition, there is the singular backwardness of
the season, which would have put the community out of
conceit with buying had it been the most prosperous of
years. We may expect a considerable movement of goods
the coming week, of which indication is given in the re-
ports of the week just past, but it will take a more lively
demand than we are likely to have to make good the defi-
ciencies of the past month. Altogether, the retrospect of
the spring trade is not likely to be very agreeable. Sales
must continue slow unless the merket breaks. Some
styles of goods, however, are already doing very well.
Denims, tickings, cottonades, grey printing cloths, the
better ginghams, are reported active, but invariably accom-
panied with the explanation of "light stocks." Muslin
dela;nes are low and weak, and, though perhaps the
cheapest goods in the market, their place is being largely
supplied by other fabrics. British dress goods are popular,
and the importntiona are large. Carpets are in very strong
demand, and rule high. This is about the only article
which is in unusual request. Merrimac prints were re-
duced for a single day in New York, bat the advance in
cotton brought them back to their old plae,4. Cotton has
Varied during the week, stand►ng at 321 c on Friday, 331 c
on Monday, 33c on Tuesday, and back again to 321; o n
Wednesday. Reports from the South confirm the impres-
sion that the rise, occurring jest w:ten it did, has given a
decided stimulus to planting, though dreary accounts come
from some of the States about high water and a late spring.
An association, styled the Cotton Manufacturers' Associa-
tion, was organised in New York, on Wednesday, and
Mr. A. A. Lawrence, of Boston, was chosen preside ut.
It purpose is announced to be to secure harmony be-
tween cotton growers and manufacturers, and to pro-
mote generally the interests of this branch of industry.
Fortunately the cotton growers and cotton manufacturers
do not find so many obstacles to a friendly understandiug
as their brethren in wool. The conflict of interests in the
latter industry seems to be hopeless and irreconcileable,
unless with a degree of protection which it will be found
difficult to secure at Washington or to sustain before the
country.
In breadstuffs and provisions the condition of trade is
far more satisfactory. Pork has outdone itself, new
mess having risen $2 to $2.25 during the week. Beef
is quite, active, and firm, particularly in the lower
grades. The flour market is active and buoyant, especi-
ally for western and state. The demand for shipment both
to Europe and the West Indies has improved. Wheat has
risen under a good export.demand, and prices tend upward
still. Speaking generally, the whole line of things to eat
is advancing, and is likely to -advance. In fact, with the
single exception of butter, every a. tide on the list is higher
than a week ago, or else firmer at the highest quotations of
that date.

(From Vie Anglo-American 2 imes.)
" The Senate Court agreed to-day to postpone
the final vote upon the Impeachment of President
JOHNSON until Saturday. The Court then ad-
journed till that day." Such was the telegram
from Washington on the 12th inst. If the Senate
succeeds to-day in agreeing upon a Verdict, we pre-
sume it will be known this evening. But it may be de-
ferred till next week, and the debate recommence
on Monday with as much eagerness and volubility
as if what was then said was new to the hearers and
the conception of the speaker's mind. The trial of
WARREN HASTINGS was spun out through many
years, and though that of ANDREW JOHNSON only
occupied as many weeks, yet far more has be .n
said and written on the trial of the PRESIDENT
than on that of the Indian Viceroy. These are
days of steam, and nothing less than steam men,
with a goad supply of fuel and vapour, will be able
to get through the spouting now in vogue at Wash-
ington. We are amazed to see how THAD. S ITV ENS
survives, but he fell on the fdeor of the c'iamber a
short time since, and when delivering his speech on
the 27th April, after a few minutes he was com-
pelled to sit, and in a few more his voice grew so
faiut that General BUTLER had to finish the read-
ing. Mr. WILLIAMS, who followed the prosecution,
did little to strengthen the Managers' case. His
address is described as " being filled with rhetori-
cal abominations and nuisances." The speech that
most surprised was that of Mr. GROESBECK, who,
being little known to the East, though famous
in the West, carried away the assembly by
his unexpected eloquence. He is a brother-in-
law of General JOSEPH HOOKER, a war Democrat,
and hails from Cincinnati, though a New Yorker
by birth. His professional success has elevated him
above the necessity to practise. Notwithstanding a
bad cold, the effect he produced was striking, and
at once established his fame. Mr. EVART'S speech
of four days, although a brilliant forensic effort,
has not done much to increase the renown of the
orator. All knew his power of sarcasm, and his
ability to produce fine rhetorical flourishes, and
that he succeeded caused no surprise. But he failed
in argumentative force and in skilful legal dissec-
tion. He acknowledges that he made no effort in
this direction, as he could but again outline the sub-
jects already minutely sketched by his colleagues.
Indeed, the preceding Managers and counsel left
but little that was new for any one to say, and the
Press had even forestalled the lawyers. The satire
of EVARTS produced an effect for which he had not
long to wait. General BUTLER, against whom it
was mainly directed, denounced him in the House
" as an apostate who had stolen the livery of Heaven
in which to serve the devil," as he—Mr. EVARTS,
not the devil—belonged to the Republican party.
The late Attorney-General, Mr. STANBERY, who
had resigned his post to defend his friend AN-
DREW JOHNSON, spoke for a short time. He
looked very ill, and appeared prostrated by the
attack, reading only for about 20 minutes. He
said that he had made this effort to protest against
a giant wrong, and he assured the Senate the strong
arm of the people would right Mr. Jo:lN§oN if he
were wronged by them, lifting up the victim and
punishing the oppressor. There appears to be more
doubt at Washington about Mr. JOHNSON'S con-
viction than anywhere else in the Union. That city
is the focus of all political intrigue, and all the
undercurrents invisible to the citizens elsewhere
are discernible there. Men run about with the
latest on slits—" F ESSENDEN declares he will
not perjure himself to please his party,"
" STEVENS is in despair," " ANDREW JOHNSON is
jubilant." What the power Chief Justice CHASE
can exercise, and how he will use it, are fertile
subjects of conjecture; but the great disturbing
cause is jealousy of BEN WADE. That gentleman
looks with a more earnest hope to being elected
Vice-President than to serve for eight to ten
months as acting PRESIDENT. It is notorious that
if he succeeds ANDREW JOHNSON he will use the
patronage to insure the object he has in view.
Many of the Senators are rival candidates, and
they cannot be eager to advance the object which
would tend so much towards their own defeat. The
jealousy is excessive, and gittes,rise among the ex-
treme opponents of ANDREW JOHNSON to complica-
tions in the highest degree favourable to the PuEsi-
DENT. Were the case less urgent there is reazon to be-
lieve that an open split would be the result; but it is
held by the party that the acquittal of ANDR
JOHNSON would be viewed as a vindication of his
policy, arid the danger is so great, that as usual
with the Republicans it will knit them together to
meet the emergency. Although such questions have
no right to enter into the Senate's decision as a
Court of Justice, they must necessarily arise out of
the situation which makes the Senate, as Mr.
EVARTS said, the Judges of the PRESIDENT
upon issues between themselves and him, This
may be abhorrent to justice, but it is abso-
lutely unavoidable ; and under these extremely
difficult circumstances it is everywhere admitted
that the Senate have acted with great dignity and
impartiality. Indeed, it is not improbable that
some Senators may be carried beyond impartiality,
and favour Mr. JOHNSON, from the knowledge that
in their hearts they desire his removal. The s ty-
ing that an acquittal would ruin the Republican
party is now explode 1. Instead of ruin, it might
ultimately be beneficial, taking from the shoulders
of the party the responsibility of failure in Recon-
struction, the whole weight of which would fall on
the Radicals if Mr. JOHNSON were removed. It
would convey to the public mind the idea of equity
and impartiality, and enable the party to cast at least
a part of the odium of the corruption which pre-
vails in the collection of the revenue on the PRE-
SIDENT. The danger, too, would cease of sending
ANDREW JOHNSON a martyr abroad to stump the
country as an interesting individual, who risked all
—endured all—and lost all in the interests of his
fellow-citizens, and in defence of the Constitution.
While discussing the subjects that most occupy the
minds of men at Washington, our opinion remains
unchanged, that ANDREW JOHNSON will be con-
victed on some of the counts, and deposed, but we
doubt whether the sentence,will extend to rendering
him thenceforth unqualified for (Ace.

Gold has shown very little variation to-day, having
opened at 1393, thence rising to 1391 and closing at 1391.
American Silver is in moderate demand at 6 to 7 cents
below the price of gold. Mexican dollars are worth 103
to 1033 in gold. •
Foreign Exchange is quiet, there being rittle demand
from importers.
The New York Stock Exchange, by a vote of 111 to 6,
rescinded, on April 25th, the clause in their constitution
which prohibits members from visiting other boards. The
Open Board of Brokers at once iavited them, and a large

MONEY AND BUSINESS.
(From the Springfield Republican.)

NEW YORK, Friday Evening, May 1.

sent.
Railroad Stocks are generally firm, especially New York
Central, Erie, and Rock Island, but Fort Wayne and Illi-
nois Central are selling at lower prices.
In Miscellaneous Stocks the business is principally in
Pacific Mail and Canton.
Express Stocks are lower, and we quote :
611 to 621
Adams
American
United States
Wells, Fargo,, and Co.
Merchants' Union, 35 per cent 34 to 311
Mining Stocks show very little animation, the transac-
tions being principally in Consolidated Gregory and
Smith and Parmelee, the former of which has advanced to
$2 95c. and the latter is firm at $2 20c.
Petroleum Stocks are in fair demand, and a large busi-
hess has been done in United States up to $1 The., at
which price but little stock is offered.

At Boston, during the week, the money market has been
without change. This feature is noticed, which is spoken
of elsewhere, that some banks report currency plenty and
others scarce. The difficulty probably originates in the
fact that a great discrimination is being exercised both as
to borrowers and as to collaterals. At Chicago the supply
of loanable funds is increasing. Short loans can be had
on Government Securities at 8 per cent. At Cincinnati
there is a tendency towards au easier money market,
while some of the banks still report currency low, and a
demand for loans beyond their ability to accommodate.
Rates of interest are 8 to 10 per cent. to regular cus-
tomers, most of the business being done at 10. At Now
York the market has been growing easier all the
week, until a condition of moderate comfort has been
reached. While money is not plenton, yet, it is in fair
supply, and can be had on something like reasonable
terms. The business done is mostly on call at 6 per cent.
The demand for discount is limited. Seven per cent. is
charged for prime paper at the banks, and from that to 8
per cent. on the street. A little poorer sort has to pay 9
per cent., but nothing is done at any higher figures.
The extensive Treasury disbursements of the present
month will tend to give the community the relief which it
needs. V 1,000,000 of gold are to be paid out in New York
this week for the 5-20 coupons. A considerable export is,
however, anticipated during the first weeks of May, and
the tendency of exchange is lower.. It has been up at
exporting point long enough, and the flow of gold cannot
fail to follow. Advices from Europe in lico.te still greater
accumulations of treasure at the bank of France, while
the abrupt termination of the Abyssinian war has already
given greater ease iu the Loudon money market. Ex-
change is barely supported, and best names are held at 110
with sales at 109+. The rates as quoted are, Loudon, 60
days, 109+ to 110 ; ditto at sight, 110+ to 1101 ; Paris,
long, 5 13+ to 5 12+ ; short, 5 llf to 5 10 ; Antwerp, 5 15
to 5 13+; Swiss, b 15 to 5 13+; Hamburg, 36} to 36+; Am-
sterdam, 401 to 411; Frankfort, 41 to 41+ ; Bremen, 79+
to 80 ; Berlin, 71+ to 72.
The New York Stock Market for the last week has suf-
fered from none of those wholesale catastrophes which
have been almost a matter of course the past month, but
considerable changes have taken place in the positions of
the most important stooks• raciac mail bold down to 894

Mrs. Isabel Thorne, of 18, Charles-street, Gros,
venor-square, presented herself in the recent arts exami-
nation at Apothecaries'-hall, iu company with sixty-six
gentlemen. Out of the sixty-seven candidates forty-
seven passed. Mrs. Thorne came out among the first six,
and her papers were so good that the usual viva voce exa-
mination was dispensed with. Last May Mrs. Thome
finished the curriculum at the Ladies' Medical College in
Fitzroy-square by carrying off double first honours in the
medical and obstetrical classes. She has since been prac-
tising as an accoucheuse.
LADVERTISEMENT.I—Avoid Medicines: they always aggravate
chronic complaints: but Du Barry's delicious health-restoring
Reva:enta Arabica Food, which yields three times the nourish-
ment of the best meat, saves 50 thnes its cost in other remedies,
and invariably restores perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound
lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, functional
regularity, ant energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. We
extract a few out of 63,000 cures ;—" The Pope's health restored
by Du Barry's Food. Cure No. 63,413.—"R0me, July 21, 1866.
—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since,
abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely
to Du Barry's Revalenta A.ralaca Fool. of which he consumes
a plateful at every meal. It hr.a prodwed a surprisingly
bene-
flciar effeot on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel
lent food too highly." From the "Gazette flu Midi, July 25 Cure
