The New Icr,x Money Market.


The week closes on an easy money market,
much beyond what was expected from the absence
of large receipts of gold from California. The
accumulated treasure already in bank, the large
deposits, and the great amount of unemployed
capital, have rendered harmless the suspension of
California supplies.
Money rates are easy at to per cent. for call
loans, and Ga7 for the discount of good paper
Prime paper is very scarce. The offerings at bank
Yesterday were generally light, ana far below the
amount available for discounts.
The foreign news has had avery exciting effect
in Wall street The rapidity with which the bank
of England is accommodating specie, and the large
consumption of cotton in the few weeks of advice,
inspire additional confidence in the future. Mon
ey is falling in value in London, notwithstanding
an expensive war. Capital is being withdrawn
from too extended trade. and the consequence
is there is much available for loans. The CONT
mental exchange favors England. Orders have
come out for the purchase Of our securities and
at enlarged limits. Yesterday afternoon this was
seen in a very animated market at the Stock Ex-
change, where prices advanced with great elastic
ity. The excitement was catching, and those who
were short Of stocks frightened into pur-
chase. Stocks in general advanced, and Illinois
Central Railroad bonds rose IL pei cent.

Reisner had previously had difficulty with his

A Movement Tor the Masses in England.

We learn from the New York Tribune's London
Correspondent, that an important popular move
ment has been made in the British Parliament,
looking to nothing less than the establishment Of
a system of free education for the people through
out the kingdom. 1t was introduced by Sir John
Pakington. The principal features of this meas
ure are that education shall be free, that re-
sponsible Minister shall supersede the present
irresponsible committee of the Privy Council
and that religious instruction shall be given
in the schools, the attendance such instruction
remaining optional with the children. Some
facts mentioned in his speech are of general inter-
est. He found that in respect to public education
England is almost at the bottom of the scale
Russia, Spain, and Italy, only being lower. That
out of the entire number of children between five
and fifteen years in England, forty-two per cent
are at school, twelve per cent. at work, and forty
six per cent. neither at school nor at work. He
also mentioned fact which seems really incredi-
bic viz: That nearly eight hundred school
masters Or mlstresses in England were unable to
write their own names, and that at the taking of
the census. they signed their returns with mark
Such state of things can, of course, not be
tolerated, and accordingly the measure was in
troduced without opposition. In the course of
his speech Sir. j. Pakington paid deserved tr.b-
ute to the educational organization in the free
States of America, and very undeserved one to
the Austrian system, which looks very fair on pa
per, but is not carried in practice, Tyro, Galica
Carinthia, Camioha, and Dalmatia being the least
educated provinces of Europe. Not one in ten
among the Tyroleans and Galicians can read and
writ.
1t is probable that this measure will be carried
as Lord John Russell has frequently declared that
he desired two important measures to be carried
before he retired from Public Life. One of these
was the passage of a blu for the taxation of the
country in behalf of the general education the

THE MOTHERLESS.

God help and shield the mothcrless,
The stricken, bleeding dove
From whom there gushes no rich foUnt
or deep and de athless love;
The saddest title grief confers-
For who so lone as they,
Upon whose path mothers love
Sheds not Its hottest ray?
No gentle form above them bends
To sooIhe the couch of pain
Nor voice SO fond rs hers essays,
To casa the feyerish brain;
Oh. other tongues may whisper love,
In accents soft and mild;
But hone 50 pure as that
\ mother bears her child.
Judge kindly of this mothcrlesS--
A weary lot IS theirs,
And oft the heart that cayest seems,
A look of sorrow bears;
No faithful voice directs their steps,
Or bids them onward press,
sand il they gang Semin' wrang,'
God help the mothei!sss!
Aud when the sinful and the frtil,
The tempted and the tried,
Inspected one. shah cross thy path,
oh. spurn them hot aside;
Thou know'st not what thou haist been
With other trials les
And when Thy lips would vent reproach,
Thluk, they were motherless!
A blessing on the mothI,ess,
where'er they dwell on earth,
Within the home oi ch'ldhood,
Or az the Strangers hearth!
Blue d. the sky above their heads,
And bright her sun within;
O God. protect The Elntherlr>s.
And keep them free from sin!

RECRUITING FOR TIE CRIMEA.-We understand
that the recruiting Offices opened in this city and

Germans seem very willing to go. These enlist

before the paper could so to press, our eyes fell
upon drunken woman being taken to her home
by two boys ffomtcn to fourteen years of age,
brothers by their resemblance, and sons of her
they led, by the care they took of her staggering
steps, and the trouble in their young faces. 1t
was sad sight and led to much wonder as to
where she could have been and now brought into
such miserable plight. Fortunate was she to
have two such faithful boys, and may love for
them strengthen her in resolution to leave the
intoxicating cup untasted evermore.
