Money Matters.

The following in relation to the plethoric
condition Of the New York money market
is from the hdependert Of the 9th;
The market still continues excessively pie
thoric, although the government has alb
sorted $1,000 900 for the reissue Of Treasury
notes that have been received for duties and
Cancelled. This new issue was raised at 4 .
pr cent, and was negotiated in d lew hours
by the prompt and efficient Sub-Treasurer,
Mr.. Cisco, Of this city. Yet money is still
difficult 10 place ut even four per cent, and
many loans are made ut three. On the 4th
Of June another x4,0O0000 Of Treasury
notes will b. awarded, and a regular loan
Of $4,000, 900 il asked OF Congress by
the Government, which will I've on the market
before very long.
The banks average Of specie only fell
100000 last week, and another semi
monthly remittance from San Francisco Is
ut hand. The shipment Of bar gold to Eu-
rope is resumed, and il like 10 continue, but
IL yet below the receipts for gold continues
10 come in from circulation, owing to the
proponderance Of liquidation over new en-
gagements. The Sub-Trcasury disburses
largely, and what Il borrows soon reappcars
in the circulation, to find its way back again
into bank almost Immediately. The bank
loans are now 81 1868 900, heavy amount;
while the deposits show the unprecedented
sum Of Ss4 ,297,73s. Treasury notes bear
ing 4 per cent. interest are at premium oil
i4a1, per cent. and those at other rates, ia
proportion Some Of the banks refuse them
altogether. The Chemical Bank and the
Bank Of Commerce took the largest proper
ton OF the recent reissue. The rest was
taken by bankers and brokers.
The market favors the seller Of business
paper, which is in great demand with little
supply The regular rates arc 4aj per
cent. for the best grades, and Cat for Inferior
grades. Occasionally large lines are passed
at per cent.

The Southern Commercial Convention,
Notwithstanding the most ultra men OF that

The Secretary OF the Navy this morning
transmitted 70 the Senate very interesting
letter from Lieut.. 4. A. Craven, dated May
IL, in relation to the praeticability Of an in
ter-Oceanic communication from the Gulf OF
Darien To the Pacific ocean, by the Atrsto
and TruandO rivers.
The letter OF Lieut.. Craven concisely en-
bodies the results Of his late survey Of those
rivers, and contains the following conclus-
ions in reference TO the PHYSICAL difficulties
TO be overcome in opening q communics-
ton:
Il. A cut through some five miles OF
submerged mud at the mouth Of the river,
with the prospective certainty Of constant
dredging TO keep it open.
20. The herculean labor and incalcula-
ble expense Of cutting through the lagoons
Of the Truando and the embodied logs Of
the Palos Caidos, where the whole country
is inundated during at least nine months Of
the year, and where the food of day may
destroy the work Of week.
80. The vast expense attending the re-
moval Of basaltic rock in country where
labor and provisions must all be imported at
most extravagant rates.
-. The want Of an anchorage on the
Pacific coast.
The fatal effects Of the climate, which,
it may he safely estimated, will at all times
disable onethird Of any force that may be
sent there.
lyon will not be surprised, sir, that, with
the preceding arguments, ! am OF the opin-
ion that the proposed canal is impractica-
BILE, "a involving an expenditure Of treasure
not easily estimated, and u sacrifice Of life
from which the stoutest heart may shrink
Human ingenuity and perseverance may, it
il true, overcome the obstacles enumerated I;

much less extensive work than that con.

The Home Squadron.

The number Of guns Of different calibre,
carried by the several vessels that have been
ordered to join the home squadron is $40;
while, under the command Of the British
Admiral on the West Indian station, there
are vessels Of war mounting, in the aggre.
gate, 375 guns. The American cruisers
will be ordered to prevent further aggres-
sions upon our vessels, and to capture any
British cruiser that may, after due warning,
attemp. the same. A Washington cores
pendent Of the New York Commercial
says
NO one who knows anything Of ADM.
raj Sir Houston Stewart will suppose that
he has acted without orders, or has miscon-
ceived them. But it may be supposed that
his orders were from Palmerston, and not
the present ministry.
In either case, it is somewhat remarkable
that Lord Napier was not made acquainted
with the orders. He has disclaimed any
knowledge Of them, but in his corrcspoa-
dence with Gen. Cass he has stated that the
American construction of the right Of search
was such as TO render il impossible to
carry into effect any system for the suppress
sion Of the African slave trade"
