FINANcIAL.-From the n. York Ereniag Pos,
ofyesterday we make up the following statemen.
Of financial affairs In New York:
Most OF the bank committees in Washington
have separated and gone home. The Boston dele.
ton passed through this city this morning but
one or two Of the New York committee still re-
main In Washington to finish up some business
connected with the old issues Of Treasury notes
The substance Of the present understanding be-
tween the banks and the Secretary Of the Treasury
IL m follows:
MIR. Chase proposes TO have the law Of July l.
1851, now existing, authorizing him to negoti ate
e2SO, 900 600 In various ways, enacted emitting
ne clause In reference to the issue Of fifty millions
Demand notes.
We understand that Mr. Chase has issued al.
ready about SIS ,OCO,OOO OF demand notes, so that
under the existing law, 10 which he will be re-
suicted- about so eco 900 more may be Issued;
bet 90 they can be re-issued the Of these will
ee sumcient to meet the current disbursements OF
the department
In issuing these s2SO, OCO, 900 he proposes to
pay out notes bearing 3 65 per cent interest pay-
able enc year after date, in denominations Of 5,s
los and 20's, fundable In T. 30 three-year notes
and which are again convertible into a six Der
cent. twenty-year stock.
II is also undsrstood that none Of the notes are
70 be made legal tender, but that the banks are
70 receive them on deposit and pay them out
This plan, II carried out, IL IL believed BIZ some
OF our leading financial men, will lead soon 10 a
resumption Of specie payment.
The weakness Of foreign exchange and gold Is
adduced as one Of the first favorable symptoms,
and II tae tax bill is speedily adopted, which we
hope will be the case, there can be no doubt that
that will be the result
The stock market 10 lower TO-DAY the financial
agreement telegraphed from w ashington to the
morning papers being regarded by spectators az
les favorable to rise In fancy shares. There Is,
however, strong u1dertone, and all good seen
rifles are held for much higher prices Some Of
the speculative railway shares are also In good
demand at betrer prices
The unanimous declaration Of the House of
Representatives yesterday relative to the Tar
bill, had a verv marked effect on the price OF
Government stocks. The Skies Of 1851 rose IA

FALLING OFF IN GOVERNMENT FREIGHT
There Is great falling of at the railroad in the
shipments Of freigh bit from Baltimore for the gov
eminent, during the last two or three days The
forage is particularly short. Instead Of from 100
to $50 car loads Of hay and from so to 100 cars of
oats and corn, which were sent from Camden
station and Locust Point during the months of
November and December, not more than one
third or one-fourth of these quantities are now
going forward, the hay being especially deficient
whether this arises from a deficiency Of the ar
ucle, or from hesitation on the part of the con-
tractors, in the expectation of rise IN price. we
are not entirely clear. Both theories are suggested
IL Is thought the full In these important ship
ments cannot continue longer than this week, al
MaJor Belger will no doubt soon have a large re.

THE LAST ON DIT

We hear In every quarter that the Hon simon
Cameron lie deeply chagrined and mortified by the
personal onslaught said to have been made upon
him in secret session Of the senate, by Mr. Trum-
bull, in discussing the question of the contirma-
ton Of his nomination to the Russian Mission.
1t Is alleged by Mr.. Cameron's friends that the
character and temper Of Mr.. Trumbulls opposi-
tOn to his confirmation are unusual and uniust!-
fable, and grow out OF personal piqne against a
gentleman TO whom he is more indebted for his
seat in the Senate, than to any other living MAJ
So far as we can learn, other Senator's opposi
ton 10 his confirmation has been such as to stir
theire Of Mr.. Cameron's personal friends; nor do
we believe that there is any question Of his uIti
mat confirmation TO the Russian Mission.

THE WESTERN MOVEMENTS.

1t Is hardly possible that tbs public will hear
OF the occurrence Of decided events In the ap-
preaching campaign Of Gen. Halleck In less than
fortnight. The portion Of his force that has al
ready moved must be simply destined to occupy
points Immediately in front Of Columbus. from
which the ultimate forward movement on the line
OF the Mississippi will be made.
There are many points to be quietly occupied,
and connections to be made on that line, and be.
tween Buell's and Hallecks armies before blows
can be prudently essaysd by either of them.

The steamer King Philip, Capt VIM. Mitchell
went down to the ho'illa yesterday, and returned
last night. She reports that the Anacostia yes
terday bombarded the rebel battery at Cock pit
Point, with what result has not been sscertained.
The Confederates fred four shells at the steamer,
with the usual result--nothing hit, and nobody
hu,t.
The Stepping stones, Capt. Grumler, returned
to the yard yesterday afternoon
The Jacob Bell has been hauled on the ways
for repairs.
The experimental gunnery is continued at the
practice battery, and, to a looker-on, one of the
noticeable features Of the firing is the occasional
detection Of the conica shot shell after striking
the water. A round shot generally ricochets over
the water In direct line, but the conica shot, IL
1t meets with obstruction, seems to be as uncer-
tain as rocket. One, this morning, appeared to
defect to the right at angle Of probably thirty
degrees after striking near the point aimed at
