UNITED STATES SECURITIES IN EUROPA Lon
don correspondents of the Journal of Commerce, in
speaking of American securities, says it is very dit
cult to obtain the regular business prices, as there
is no regular board of brokers at which they are
dealt in Although occasionally dealt in by the
members of the London Stock Exchange, yet it is
rare that the transactions are effected actually within
the building. Price currents are merely nominal
prices, and it rarely happens that more than one
stock is in vogue at time. When a new loan is
effected, it takes the lead and keeps it, to the exclu-
sion of all others, for many months. As soon as
the price of United States six per cents were quoted
at 100, the Englishceased to buy; then the French
and Dutch came in and bought largely in the aggre-
gate, though, as far as the Dutch were concerned
the orders, though many were small, say for 1000
or 1000 at time. The latter purchase coupon
bonds of 1000 each almost exclusively, which has
been the cause of the increased demand for this de-
scripton of stock. The correspondent adds:
Bonds of 200 each saabe the moment the letters
opened which contain them, but bonds OF 1000 and
5000 and 5000 are dead letter. and only be sold by
special negotiation Even certificates most saeabe IN
Of 1000 EACH While the disturbances on the con-
nen continue, and therefore the largest purchases are from
them would be wise of emteis send other bonds
than those of 900 each. ......... ..
In Amsterdam there is little or no inquiry for United
States bonds and Paris ALL and yet the London
market sustained by orders from these two cities, and
these bonds from London either OF these Cities the
chances to one that they come back unsold.
'The main of this is that the orders for United
States bonds directly from parties who intend to become
permanent holders though The price IN London may De
1870 per cent
In France United States bonds bought for safety
while the steady investing Germans, who buy little every
ng have oeen and are and will be the best customers for
these bonds. .< .,....."..
Should the city of Paris become again the theatre of blood
she'd many her citizens will fly America with these bonds
in their pockets, and will be surprising if some OF the
coupons presented until long over due, the holders
preferrng them sort of savings bank, from which
they can draw their accumulaions at moments notice.

The Celebration of the Anniversary of the Battle
Of Bunker Hill, at Boston, on Monday, was bril-
liant affair. The Hon. EDWARD EVERETT deliver
ed the Grafton, which is said to have been one of
his happiest efforts. 1t is published entire in the
Boston papers. Mr.. EVERETT commences by
comparison Of the condition Of things on the spot
alhis day, and that presented on the 18th Of June,
l775. He gives rapid sketch of the principal
incidents of the battle and alludes to the important
influence produced by its result upon the revolu-
tionary war. He briefly reviews the causes which
led TO the Declaration of Independence, and COM
pares the ease with which republican Governments
were established here with the disastrous expert
ments of other nations; shows that the ends of the
revolution were not fully accomplished until the
Union of the States formed that this Union,
which is the source of all their prosperity, was the
necessary result of their condition; and that, among
other important considerations, its preservation is
essential TO the spread of the principles of peace
The orator refers to the great changes which are
going on in human affairs, to the influence of our
example on foreign nations, and closes with pa.
rio,c exhoration to the people of this country to
emulate the example of their fathers.
A splendid Public Dinner was given afterwards.
Among the letters from invited guests who could
not he present, was the following from Mr..
WEBSTER: ....

ants who had refused to pay rent have paid up all
arrearages and some of them have bough. the farms

way to abolish the leasehold SYSTEM although law

the unfortunate tenants to believe otherwise until

economy and hard labor is gone, with the ability
