The CAMBRrDaE.-The preservation Of
this packet ship in the river .Nersey is an event
of no ordinary Importance, as her situation
was such that had she been lost, her entire car
90 would have been ruined, and the loss to
her underwriters, could not have been less
than one million sir hundred thousand dollars.
A very large proportion of this amount was in
suredin Wall-street; and it is scarcely neces-
sary to say, that it might have proved ruinous
to some one of our insurance officers. A let
ter from Messrs. Barring, BRoTHERs s. Co. the
consignees in Liverpool, to her owners in this
city, says:--
"During the gale, the Cambridge was inthe
river, and drifted from near the Seacombe slip
to Georges pier, where she rode out the gale
within few feet of the wall, where there were
thousands of anxious spectators wholly una
Bile to afford assistance, notwithstanding the
frightful situation she was in, which appeared
to be that of almost certain destruction. We
must refer you to Capt. BURsLEY for particu-
lars. Fortunately he toas on board; and zoe
mag truly sag, to that circumstance, ave cons
ceive that all are indebted for the preservation
of so mach property, If not for the preserUa-
ton Of many liues."-N. Y. Coar. & Eng.
MONEY MATTERs.--The New York Express
of Friday, the 9th, says:
"The subscription to the Bank Of Com
merce closed to-day, having been open the
three days. The amount subscribed is not
given out officially, but we understand it is
over six millions, being one million of dollars
over and above the amount of capital. Very
little has been taken by peculators--nearly all
by capitalists for permanent investment. o.
yer half million from Boston,"
The same paper on Saturday, says:
"The banks are going into operation--the
revival of real estate operations--the improve
men. of domestic exchanges, and the mode
rately low rate at which bills on Europe range,
all show an easier state of things. Business is
conducted with as much facility as is either de-
SCRABBLE or beneficial. The great impression is
that money will be very abundant, and there is
certainly every indication that it will become
SO. There is no merchants paper in Wall
street of any consequence-less than we have
ever known. 1t is difficult to get any more
than regular interest on any description of
good loans.
REAL EsTATE.--The auction rooms are now
more crowded than ever. Lithographic maps,
which for the last year have been out Of fash
ion, are now looked at. Large sales are con-
stantly making. Property IN the lower part
of the city sells at high prices. Rents have
gone up in every part Of the city. Large pre-
parations are making for building, particularly
in the 1lth ward, where some of the finest de-
scriptlons of houses are to be put up. Bonds
and mortgages which for long time have beer
dead property, are now active. There are
strong indications that real estate will materi
ally improve.
FLouR.--The MARKETS firm; the large pur
chases made here and at the south are cacu
lated to sustain the market. The exports thil
week have been 1918 barrels. The exports
since the first Of January have been a little
rising 1900, a much larger quantity than TO-
many years. Sales of western at So for com
mon brands.
