Whi.perinR at Concerts.

"One who keeps his eyes and ears open,'
makes the following true remarks on that
most intolerable class Of people, those who
whisper at concerts
"After attending the Philharmonic con-
certs at New York for ten years, we made
up our minds that there could scarcely be
found as many polite people in New York
as there were righteous people in Sodom.
The music seemed to be designed only as a
cover behind which young and frivolous
people could WhispeT. Whenthe instruments
rose up into great volumes of sound, of
course whispering was drowned; but, when
the the flow of sound subsidized, and the more
exquisite passages were murmuring gently
we have often lost the whole effect by the
sibilant w~hisperers all around. Go whore
we would, change from parquette to gallery,
from one side to the others, everybody was
busy in disturbing all who came for music.
In the p%ettishness Of disappointment we
sometimes have been disposed to place these
ill-mannered whisperers in the Apostles cat
alogue of offenders. 1t is certain that they
stand high in the court of ill-bred people.
Aperson may be intelligent, well-dressed,
and amiable, his connections may be high,
his parents wealthy, and he may proudly
claim to belong to the first society but a
persons who whispers at opera, or concert,
is to be pronounced ill-mannered and that
without appeal, or benefit of clergyl Nor
is that all. Parents can not have done their
duty whose children do not know any bet
ter how to behave on public occasions. And
when people who are cheated out of all the
pleasure for which they have come to a mu-
steal festival, are smarting with this annoy
ance, they inwardly blame the mother more
than the daughter, and pity children that
they have been suffered to go out into soei-
ETY. with 30 little knowledge of what is
properl A person who is truly polite at q
concert or opera will be polite anywhere"

Of Thames continue unsaleable. The prospect
Of the Money Market does not vary. What
ever happens In the political world, we must
have a plethora Of Money in New York.
Whether we have peace or war, no means
can be devised for the employment Of our
immense stock Of Money $4o,000000 Of
coin must. in al probability, lie idle this
Summer in the Banks, at a loss in interest Of
over 5000, 900 a month. On the other hand,
the prospect OF a dear Money Market in
London continues decided. At latest dates
an advance in the Bank rate to 9@t0 was
generally anticipated whether this is done
or not there is no presant chance Of any
reduction.
Foreign Exchange closed yesterday pretty
steady for the Edin6uvg. Bankers sold their
Sterling Bills at lO5&@106, and Francs at
b.32%@35. There is q scarcity of CONNER
cial bills in market, which, if the importers
were able or needed TO remit more largely,
would soon cause an advance in rates. But
very few Of the importing houses are flush,
with the exception Of some of the oldest and
richest, and they have already RENTED in
full, hence the dullness of the market. AT
Ice for Sterling Bills, there is no profit on
importations Of Gold from England, so long
as the rate of interest there remains at 8 Der
cent. After the lapse of ten days or a fort
night, therefore, il will not be safe to expect
a further flow of Specie to this country, I'M
less either Exchang e should rise or the bank
rate of interest fall.
