MONEY MARK Il r.

FRIDAY, April lie P. N.
There was not SO much activity in the stock mar
ket this morning "a we have noticed for some days
past, and the tendency from the opening was down
ward. Within the past day or two the money mar
ket has become quite stringent again, and there are
strong indications OF another severe contraction.
Stocks felt it to day quite sensibly, as will be seen
by the quotations At the first board Florence and
Keyport declined per cent; Nicaragua, ! Cum
berland, 4; Phoenix, i; Erie Railroad, /; Harlem, !;
Hudson River Railroad, /; Norwich and Worcester,
1; Morris Canal, 1. Great Northern Lead advanced
per cent, with large sales. Cumberland is the
weakest fancy stock on the list and will Of these
days, tumble down lower than it has been yet. The
bears have lately had good opportunity to put
out this fancy on long contracts, and we believe they
have avaed themselves Of it to considerable ex-
tent. With perhaps the exception of Erie, it is the
only stock on the list where there is very wide
margin for decline that is likely to be soon wiped
out.
At the second board the market was little bet
ter, and prices slightly improved. Nicaragua
Transit advanced per cent; Erie Railroad, /; Hud-
son Railroad, /; Parker Vein, t. Potomac Copper
declined per cent.
The receipts at the Office of the Assistant Treasurer

PnIIADEDPnA, September 1O.-At Camden, on
Saturday, the Court was opened by the reading oil
the ltany by Bishop Eastlm. Bishop Mclivaine,
on Of the presentors, resumed the nrgument-re-
capitulated what he had said on the action of last
Court, and which he now argued was bar
to further proceedings, and which he had shown
to he an illegal atIeganon-an authority of the
body which the canons did not recognize, and the
constitution forbade to be recognized court for
the trial of a bishop. The Bishop passed 10 the
second head claimed by the convention of New
Jersey to priority Of right the presentment of its
Bishop, aud showed that if this were 10 lie admit
led the right of three Bishops to present, especi-
ally declared in The canons, could neverby any
possibility be recognized, and that there was no
such thing as an independent diocese IN reference
10 the subsection of Bishops to the authority OF the
church IN tins matter. He also Showed that the
presenting Bishops, in their original letter, had
never admitted any prior ril OF the convention
10 plesenl, but only acknowledged lis priority IN
he duty OF presenting. and he gave history oil his
own personal ccnneXiUn with that letter, ShOwi Z
lllat il was not without great reluctance, and not
till alt,r long delay that he Consented, with eve
~ sacrifice of personal feeling, 10 answer TO the
call OF coup .alnauts from view jersey.

KENTI1oEY TOBACCO CROP.

That a short crop was planted is a fixed fact,
and without enumeratng all the reports from reIi-
able sources we nre enabled to give very correct
estimate Of it, which in round numbers cannotex-
coed two.thirds of last years crop, which has al
ready heen proven to be ashort one, far below the
crop of 1851, and not exceeding an average one.
Ofstbe crop growing, about one fourth was plant
ed in June, the majority planted since the 9th OF
July, and many acres as late as the Goth of July.
The first planting has done well, and promises an
abundant YIELD 0ne-fourth is now being topped,
and some reports state the topping as low as four
leaves, and the balance of the crop is looking
sicky, and with the most industrious efforts OF the
planter must he small and yield but little, and
still less if early frosts set in. The receipts OF
tobacco this year, from all sorces, do not exceed
10000 hogsheads against 10000 hogshe9ds last last
year. Our own manufacturers use annually 4,UO
hhds.; Cincinnati, Covington, Pittsbu[g, and other
points on the Ohio river require over 6'OUO hhds'
ior which they depend upon Louisville; our STEM
,neries reorire about 5000 hhds., and we conf
IDENTIFY anticipate an increased demand from sec
lions heretofore supplied by New York of at least
G, 600 hoesheals. Thus, twill lie seen, we have
a demand for near 10000 hhds. annually, suited
for these purposes add 10 which is the usual ship
ping demand, equal to about $500 hhds.

FACTS ABOUT THE FEvER.-A few months ago
merchant O.! this city took to his home and heart
youthful bride, and went to reside in the Fourth
District. Wishing to live in privacy he engaged
only one servant-a fresh green girl from the Ern-
erald Isle. She took the fever' and IN lew days
died, Another was hired, aud shared the same
fate. A third and fourth filled the vacancy in
the household, and followed in succession the
sweeping summons of the same fell destroyer
Following the impulse of a natural dread the
merchant went to Mobile 10 avoid the destructive
yisitetion of the scourge and tie next day buried
his yonnr and beautiful bride. Disguised with
home where rought but empty chambers served to
call up the memories of departed joys, he retu ned
TO the city to sell out his household, determined to
leave locality TO him so suggestive of sorrow.-
