1t will be observed that the line of deposits TO-
day was nearly two millions in excess of the same
date last year.
The exchange market today is, of course, one
of the things that were. Some little inquiry was
observed yesterday and this morning. Outdoor
sales were effected today at I2o3 for good private
drafts drawn in Mobile--this is a high figure. The
banks are selling at the best terms they can from
| l22fal25 and above. There are only two banks
| drawing. The Canal Bank has sold during the
| week further sum, but the mystery of its large
balance iu Europe (say one and quarter millions
Of dollars) is not yet explained. It is not known
that there is anything doing in francs. AS for
regular rate, there was none this week. Some light
transactions are taking place daily on some of the
prominent Southern cities. Funds, however, are
daily being received from Tennessee and other
places, as will appear by the increase in the item
sof distant balances of the banks which was o-day
u ,s20,079 against s72l ,0l8 same date last year
There have been some further sales of Confeder-
ate bonds at 81 net. General quotations are 931@
Oh for the 600s and 10d0s and 9697 and ss for the
smaller. A sale of 100 shares City Railroad was
closed yesterday at 1874. There were other trans.
actions in the same. Very little doing in bank
shares. A sale of Louisiana State Bank was said
to have been made at l4O. The shares OF the free
banks are not offered freely. Three of them are
certain of declaring dividends next month.

FUNERAL OF JUDGE DouGLAs.-To-day the
funeral Of Judge Douglas will take place in
Chicago, and will doubtless be one Of the mos,
imposing demonstrations Of respect ever wit
messed in that city. On Tuesday his remains,
accompanied by military escort, were taken to
Bryan Hall, where they were laid out in state,
and were visited during the day by about twenty
thousand persons. The Chicago Post, in an
nouncing that Mrs. Douglas had, at the request OF
a large body of citizens, consented to have the
deceased buried on the lake shore, at College
Grove, near Chicago, instead Of at Washington
says:
1t was her desire and intention In case he wal
buried there cottage Grove) to reside in a small
cottage near his tomb, to watch over and be neal
all that was left Of him she so dearly loved. Nc
more appropriate place could be selected. A
monument was already there, erected by himself
in his iiberality; that monument was the Univer
sity which faced the spot chosen by Mrs Douglas
for his place Of burial.
Hon. w. A. Richardson, one Of the committee
announced that Mrs. Douglas had expressed tn.
desire that rs Mr.. Douglas had never intimated
TO her any preference for any particular faith
that he should be buried with the service Of he
own church. The Rev. Bishop Duggan will
therefore odiciate.

FROM FORTRESS MosRoE-A Brush bst,reen
the Harriet Lane and a Battery BY the steamer
Georgeanna, which reached Baltimore yesterday
from Old Point, we learn that about eight O'Clock
on "Wednesday morning the steamer Harriet Lane,
under the command of Captain Faunee, United
States Navy, got up steam and proceeded up the
James river as far as the mouth Of the Ndnsemond
for the purpose of accommodating and looking out
for batteries 1t was not long before she observed
a large and heavy battery planted upon The point,
which is nearly opposite Newport News Point,
and abont five miles distant The cutter opened
fire. which was briskly returned by the batteries
and for nearly half hour the action continued
1t was found that but one gun Of the cutter could
reach the battery, the guns Of which being heavier
easily reached the former, and several shot struck
her. One man Is reported MORALLY wounded and
three Others slightly. During the affair the most
intense excitement prevailed, and hundreds OF
soldiers assembled the ramparts and roof Of the
Hvgeia Hotel for the purpose Of looking at the
scene The Harriet Lane returned in an hour at.
ter the action, and made an Official report to Com
Pendergrast Of the squadron.
Lieut.. Magruder, L 8. Army, came up In the
Georgeanna on a mission to Havana. with the in
| tention Of communicating with U. s. vessels Of
war.

ARMS STORED AT HAVANA FOR THE CoNFEDE-
RATEs.-lt having been reported that large
number Of arms had been stored in Havana,
under the protection Of the British flag, for the
Confederate States, Consul Shufedt was directed
to inquire into the subject. A letter has just
been received from him, in which he says the
matter had previously engaged his attention. He
had found that all munitions of war brought
there as merchandise must be Immediately d =
posted in a government warehouse, and are sold
then only by express permit from the Captain
General himself. ltwould be impossible to land
the number Of rifles specifed-namelv, 200 600,
without the knowledge of the government, and
the authorities, on their own account, would be
extremely unwilling to elicit importation Of such
a large amount of arms to the Island Of Cuba; and
besides, he had the assurance Of the Captain
General that 1t will not be permitted. Spanish
house had ordered In Belgium 10 900 rifles, with
d view to speculation in the present crisis but as
this house has failed, the Consul presumes the
order will not be filed. He Ii under the impress
| sion that few of the rejected muskets Of the
Spanish army have been sold there at public
auction-say ten thousand-and that these are the
| only arms which have gone from Havana to our
southe. n ports for the use Of the secessiOnists.
