MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL
Financial Annira.

The week opened very quietly yesterday,
without any change of consequence in
Moneyed circles; the demand being very linn
tied and the disposition to loan decidedly
small. Currency was in good supply and
still gradually increasing.
Eastern Exchange remained very firm at
8, and American Gold at premium; but
there was no willingness to buy Baltimore
checks, and dealers having any balances
there were anxious to draw at par

NEVER Do Too MucH AT TIxK-Sir Edward
Bulvard LytIon in lecture recently delivered
in England gave the following history of his liter
ary habits:
Many persons. seeing me so much engaged
IN active life, and much At out the world as If
had never been a student, have said to me,
w hen do you get time to write all your books
DO" on earth do you contrive to do so much
workT | shall surprise you by the answer !
make. The answer is this: cOntrive to do SC
much by never doing too much at time. A
man. to get through work, must not overwork
himself; or, if he do too much to-day, the reac
sion Of fatigue Will come, ana he will be Obliged
to DO too little tomorrow. Now, since begs
really and earnestly to study-which xas no,
TIL had lefi coll &c, ard was actually in the
word-l may say, perhaps, that have gon,
through with as large a course of general read
ing as most men OF my time. have Travelled
much, and seen much; have mixed much il
politics and the various business of lite; and, ir
addition to this. have published some here
about sixty volumes, some upon subjects requir
ing much research. And what time do YOU
think, as general rule, 1 have devoted to stud,
to reading aud writing: Not more than thres
hours day and, when Parliament is sitting
not always that. But then. during those hours
| have given my whole attention to what wa.

KENrUcKY.-Harney of the Louisville Dem.
oerat, offers up the following for the rebels who
are invading Kentucky:
I'VE are mild and genial in our temper and
temperament We, like Uncle Toby, would be-
lleve in putting the buzzing Hy out of the win
dow, saying: There is room enough in this
world for thee and me;' but we cannot possibly
bear to have this invasion upon us. May the
rains of heaven fall upon them, and soak their
blankets till every man this fall has the ague.
May the winter snow and frost chill and kill
them. May the corns upon their toes be more
plentiful; than the corn in their camp kettles,
and their shoes never fit. May they starve,
freeze and have the tooth-ache, every man OF
them, until they retreat ignominiously from our
State We want another Moscow winter to aid
in the cause. Heaven will be gracious we
know. and in the sacred cause visit upon them
all OF the evils they have tried to bring upon
US; until repentant they again ask admission
into the Union on the old terms, our voice is
still for war. Let US let them know that Ken
lucky is opposed to coercion. She is also op-
posed to being coerced and since they have
sown the wind. let them reap the whirlwind' y

LARGE Round SHOT AGAINST IRON CLAD SHIPS
The Ordnance Department and the public are
very anxious to test the Roman l5-inch gun by
actual experiment. 1t is not doubted that the
Union gun and the Floyd gun, at Fortress
Monroe will smash in the sides Of any ship or
battery that the rebels may have loaded down
with armOr up to the limits of hotation. Here
is fact for them: Upwards of FIVE years ago,
the Mersey Steel and Iron Company fred 2S2
ID. shot with 25 los OF powder, at lzO yards
range, from their l3.inch gun, at plate made
tor one of the English iron.clad ships. by the
Messrs. Horstall The plate was 3 feet inches,
by 2 feet 3 inches. by 4 SS inches thick. and
weighed II cwt. The plate was placed against
the ends OF nine bulks of timber, 8 feet long by
IA inches square, secured together BY cross
plank aud bedded in sand. Tue ball struck the
plate little to the left of the centre, and drove
the portion against which it struck. distance of
300 yards, shattering the whole plate, aud dri-
wing the timbers to some distance. The shot
was also shattered. After this report, which is
official, We need stand in no fear of any mailed
fleets yet aaoat, if We Can get q shot at them
with our lo-inch guns, Of which the balls weigh
425 los, and are driven by 40 lbs. of powder.
The shot of a 20 inch gun, which is deemed
practicable by Rodman's process of casting,
would weigh half a TOM. Y. Times.
