Money ia rather easier to-day, and exchange
slightly sitter. The street is full Of rumors in
Srerce TO compromise Of the political difficulties

pointment oceasioned by false rumors that opera
tors have grown cautious.
The stock market was fairly active to-day, but
prices were rather lower. State stocks at the first
board fell of, with the exception Of Tennessees,
which sold at an advance of one per cent The
railroad shares were generally fraction lower
than on Thursday; but the business in Central,
Erie, Illinois Central and Galena was large Tole-
do proved an exception to the general rule. 1t

quiet, and stocks closed weak at the following

The above report for the week ending January 4 is
the fifty third week of 1860 for which no COM
parative statement is furnished. The regular weekly
statements will be resumed next week. II will be per-
ceived that Of the ~ 9s2 632 worth of goods entered
only s34s COG thrown upon the Market whereas at
this period last year they did not vary much from
s. 900 goo, which, at average duty OF 20 per cent
paid revenue Of $500 900. BY the same rule the S3lS
00G thrown upon the market and only JAG withdrawn
from warehouse making total Of 1867 l50-the duties
on which per cent amounted only to $40 43O which
was below the expenses of collection. 1t is believed
that at this time the government taking all the ports
together is hardly collecting duties enough to pay the
outlay for their collection In this dilemma the PROPOSE
ton made by the organs of free Land gifts and manufac
turcrs increase the public by the imposition
OF a high protective tariff, is simply absurdity If
goods fail 10 be introduced in sufficient amounts TO yield
necessary under moderate duties IL Is difficult
to how high protective rates to supply
remedy Should emergencies arise TO require large in
crease Of revenue people who urge the government ut
increased expenditures had better make up
their minds to submit later to direct taxation
Congress- the influence OF party TACTICS destroyed
the revenue from the public lands by donating them TO
those who might see III TO occupy them Ihey snouid
have been pledged for the redemption OF the public
debt Having neglected to do this the government has
been compelled TO fall back upon the duties from i'm
ports Owing The unsettled condition Of the country,

Commercial, is now at Washington, and
thus telegraphs to his paper on June 6:
1.-THE New York Tribune, to-day has an
article, on what it calls 'the: Imminent
Peril at Wilmington. " Beyond a doubt,
the attitude here, at this moment, is rath-
or. defensive than offensive. Regiments
lattcrly have been sent to Chambersburg
and Fortress Monroe, rather than here -
The situation, it must lie confessed, is not
precisely wha, it be. I should be glad to
sec more regiments here without delay.

WHAT Is LIFE INsURANcE?-1. 1t Is the ex,
ercse Of prudence, of benevolence. 2. II sectires
independence, domestic happiness 10 the widow
and orphan. 8. Is more efficacious IN. its opera
tons as regards the moral and domestic comfort
of the people, and IN its tendency 10 reduce taxa
ton, by its reduction Of parperism, and possibly
of crime, than the legislation ofour wises states
men; and, il universally adopted, would be a ma.
tional blessing. a. 1t affords 10 persons of every
class, and in every station of life, the means to
avoid much future misery to their families, and to
render them independent of public OIL private
charity.
While it is the manifest and imperative duty OF
every parent, curing his lifetime, TO embrace all
honorable means of supporting and advancing the
interest of his offspring, so it is equally his duty
10 avoid leaving them at his death to grope their
way in helpless poverty through an uncharitable
world; and equally apparent is the duty of every
husband to provide, in case Of his death, for the
surviving widow. To effect all which Life Insu-
rance Companies have been formed, which enable
every husband and parent, by the payment OF q
small sum, either nnualy or quarterly, to pro-
vide for his widow and fatherless children.
