Monetary and commercial.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, May s, 1861
In New York on the Cd, at the first board, $4,000
Tennessee per cent Bonds sold at 47c, and at the
second board $4,000 at Acc. On the 4th, the fol-
lowing sales were made at the first board: $1,000
at 4G4c 1000 at 46 and $4,000 at 47c, and at the
second board SO, 600 at Acc.
The New York NelcS in its Money Article of the
evening of the 4th says:
The past week has been one Of great excitement
and disaster to the dry goods importers and job
bers. Over thirty failures principally in this trade
are reported by the Mercantile Agencies-many of
them houses of undoubted wealth, with assets to
three or four times the amount of their liabilities
who have been compelled to suspend by the total
cessation of remittances from the South and West
upon which they relied in order to meet their cur
rent payments. The heavy payments falling due
day were met with more regularity than had been
looked for but many additional failures must take
place during the next few weeks. and the fear Of
this has completely unsettled the Discount market
The importation of dry goods into New York is
light beyond al precedent. Look at the following
figures for April:
1859, April ......... ,634, 1888
LOW, -'.....-.-..---....--- s4,Zl4 400
1861, I49I .44S
For the last four months the figures showed ff-
teen millions, against thirtysix millions last year.
The dry goods business is entirely smashed up so
far as the importer is concerned.

LEGISLATIVE IRESOLyES UNANIMOUS
LY ADOPTED.

The largest impromptu meeting ever held IN our
city gathered last night in public square, to ex-
press the JOYOUS feelings CT every patriotic heart
at the noble action of the Tennessee Legislature in
presenting to the people for their adoption, De-
claration of independence from Federal authority,
and an ordinance to unite with the Confederate
States for the preservation of rights, liberties
and institutions. The public square was one mass
of living enthusiasm. Ladies, gentlemen and chill
dren were there in close array, to pour out their
tribute of gratitude to our Legislature and Gov
ernor, for the happy and glorious result of their
deliberations.
This monster and enthusiastic meeting was ad-
dressed by Hon. HENRY W. HuLIARD, of Alabama

All the speakers were animated by the highest
enthusiasm and burning eloquence.
The crowd was reused by intense and soulstir-
ring patriotism At % o'clock the church bells of
the city were simultaneously rung. There
were several fine bands of music playing
patriotic airs at dih-rent points. Bonires were
burned and rockets discharged. Several companies
of our gallant volunteers filed through the streets
The members of the Union Office especially return
their thanks for the enthusiastic cheers with which
they greeted Office in passing. 1t is impossible
at the late hour when the meeting adioured, to re-
port any portion of the noble and patriotic sentI
ments uttered The meeting finally adjourned with
three cheers for the Legislature and Governor of
Tennessee.
