upon which bill-drawers have been depending,
keeps up the high rate of foreign exchange, and
causes apprehensions of still larger shipments OF
specie than any that have yet been made. The
steamer of Saturday, it is supposed, will take out
at least five hundred thousand dollars. But money
remains abundant notwithstanding, and, as the
specie shipments must cease, there is no APP
prehension of panic. The transformation of
large bull operator into q bear since Monday last
has caused slight collapse in the stock market.
Erie Railroad stock has fallen nearly four per cent.
within few days, and the other fances, with the
single exception of Reading Railroad, have all

We have very fine weather for the season, and
the reign of pleasure will soon be restored among

her contract with that gentleman, and will, here
after, be under better manager. This business
of managing artistes is getting to be regular art

the usages of society, good address, acquaint-
