Mr.. Linooln's IDEA of the Strength of the Army

Mr. Lincoln's idea Of the Strength Of the Army.
THE President keeps cool, which is more
than can be said of the Cabinet-in fact, It is
reported, Secretary Seward has left the city
with his family and baggage. But, this is all
right; for The Premier" should be the last
man caught by the rebels, since Mason and
SIden would then have it all their own way
at st. James and the Tuilleries.
Somebody-some inQuisitve Yankee, like
Iy as not-asked the President "What num-
Der of men have the enemy in the feld?"
cold Abe looked serious, aud replied,
Tice7ue hundred thousand, according to the best
authority" The interogator blanehed in the
face, and calculated, My GodI" The Presi-
dent continued: "Yes, sir, twelve hundred
thousand-no doubt of it. You see, all ofour
Generals when they get whipped, say the
enemy outnumbcrs them from three to FIVE to
one, and I must believe them. We have four
hundred thousand men in the field, and three
times four make twelve. Don't you see it p
"Can't see it, said the bore, as he bright
ened up and started for his hat. This Is re-
tailed in cabinet circles as Old Abe's last. -

Foreign MisceIlany---A Man in the Clutches
of Lion
Ok the 18th ultiuo, as the cotnpany Of Mr..
Bells Hippodrame Circus was parading in
procession the streets of this town, an acci-
dent occurred similar in nature to that which
happened in Kingston to the man Kelly. The
procession spoken of was coming down Bo-
herbee, the rear being brought up by cage
which contained FIVE specimens Of the forest
kings, and which was drawn by two huge ele-
plants. A man named Cournane having
ventured too near the animals, Que Of them
thrust his immense paw through the bars of
the cage. caught hold of him by the end Of
his coat-sleeve and endeavored to drag him
close to the cage. In this having succeeded,
the lion made an effort to catch the man by
collar of his coat, and the latter, to save him
self, ducked his head right under the flooring
of the cage. The lion then caught hold of
him with his paw by the upper of his shoul-
der. and held him for a fsw seconds. The
keeper CAIr. Batty,} who had been riding be-
hind the cage and who is renowned for the
bravery which he rescued Kelly, in Kingston,
from like but more serious pfedieament,
Immediately dismounted, and struck the lion
several heavy blows on the paw, Which still
kept its hold Of Cournane. Mr.. Batty, how
ever, continued to ply his loaded whip vigor-
ovsIy on the paw Of the Eon, which in a sew
minutes had to let go his hold, and Cournane
escaped with a deep cut on the back OF bis
hand and far scyerer one or his shoubIcE

knew no bounds. The people formed them

pass without having good shake Of the hand
or hearing pleasant word from him Gray
haired men of seventy pat on a double share
Of elasticity, and were the most eager in their

Z per cent. There are hnancien in the street who
predict that call loans on stocks win fall presently
to three per cent, and this win be the case i
trade does not revive The passage OF the Tax
and Tariff bills would however, give an impetus to
commerce, and the appointment Of Collector for
New Orleans is regarded as indicating purpose
on the part Of government to open some Southern
ports ut no distant day. Nothing further is known
with regard to the prospects of the tariff in Con-
gress. But Mr.. Spaulding, of the Committee OF
Ways and Means, who was in town yesterday, re-
ports that there is no doubt whatever Of the pas.
sage, at no distant day, Of the Tax bill, in some
shape or other. Congress would act wisely il all
other measures were postponed until this one was
passed.
Foreign exchange advanced last week 20 l13Z
a "a. At the close very few bankers were willing
10 sell under "A. The advance was due more to
the advance and advancing tendency in gold than
to any increase in the demand for bills. Among
the importers there is reported to be no active in
quiry for exchange Az yet there are no goods
sent here on commission, and few sent on credit.
But gold is advancing, and there are too few pro-
duce bills in market for bankers to be willing to
eel at rates which viii not admit Of gold being
shipped to cover. Gold rose last week from 1917
and took no one by surprise. Indeed, most of our
foreign bankers had looked for premium Of
per cent gold before this. The spectators
on the Stock Exchange continue to render to the
government signal service by maintaining the
currency by selling gold short at the currentrates.
We understand, however, that buyers arc becom-
ing more chary than they were of making con-
tracts for future deliveries Of goldthe buyer pay
~
is much cheaper to buy the gold for cash. and bor-
row on it, if necessary at bank, At 5 per cent,
than to take sixty day contracts bearing per cent
interest. The export demand and the securities
of the government can hardly fail to raise an ad-
vance in specie. During the paper money era in
England gold rose to per cent premium. Mr..
Cisco has secured two millions Of gold in exchange
for 1880 notes on very good terms; but he needs
forty millions year.

market for the past week and month

The whole list as lie seen above, is cOnsidera-
bly, higher than it was . week ago. The greatest
advance is in Pacific Mail which rose Is per cent.
1t s understood that there was quite large short
interest in this stock, and that part Of it still re-
mains uncovered The company is doing fine
business but no one can tell at what moment the
Nicaragua route may not be reopened, and for
midable competitor introduced into the field. Com
modore yanderbt's relations with the company
are understood to be extremely friendly, and he is
a large holder Of the stock. Panama rose per
cent last week, and is scarce at the advance. The
principal railroad shares Of the West and North
were in active demand all last week; but the ad-
vance in these descriptions il not marked as in
some others. Speculation seldom moves in more
thar one channel at time. At present govern
mcnts and the high priced shares are the favorites
In short time these will probably be neglected
for stocks which require less money to carry them
and on which the margin for an advance is
greater The present ease Of money must sooner
OF later have its effect upon Erie, Toledo, Central
Prairie du Chen and the stocks Of other roads
which have large and increasing traffic.
The great feature Of the market at present,
however, is the speculation in government secu-
rites. For the first time since the war broke out,

Simultaneously we note that seven thirty notes

ness at s0s4. As these certificates are sure to be
paid off within a year, and bear six per cent in.
terest, they would not be dear at par. The skies

lied the issue of 100000 900, being redeemable,

The twenty year bonds cannot well help selling at

viii probably be the leading stock in our market,
and the stock whose fluctuations will afford the best

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

SUNDAY, May 4, 1862.
Al win be seen from the circular Of Secretary
Seward to the foreign ministers, published in
another column of our paper, the President Of
the United States win shortly issue his proclama-
tion reopening to the commerce OF the world
the ports Of New Orleans, La; Fernandna, Fla;
Savannah, Ca. Beaufort, S. c.. and Newbern, N
C. Proper precautions win be taken to prevent
the rebel cause from deriving any advantage from
this relaxation of the rules of war. All commerce
to be carried on at the ports in question will be
carried under the United States flag; ships will
clear with United States clearance, and goods
entered at such ports will be required TO pay du
ties under the United States tariff. The internal
commerce between the ports so opened and The
interior, especially where bands Of rebels still
Turk, will be subjected to proper regulations by
officials acting under orders from the President.
With the foreign world the seaports in question
viii probably be enabled to trade on the same
terms as any of the Northern ports Of entry With
the exception of articles contraband of war. We
have reason TO believe that the President has been
mainly induced to adopt this course by the success
which has accompanied Gen. Hallcck's restoration
Of trade to the country watered by the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers, whose planters are now
bringing in their cotton and other produce quite
freely, and testifying great joy at their restora
ton to the privileges of citizens of the United
States.
The importations At this port for the past week
were again in excess Of those of the correspond
ing week last year, both in dry goods and general
merchandise. The aggregate importations for the
first four months of 1862 are in excess of the ag-
gregate exports of merchandise and specie by
nearly five millions of dollars. The following
were the principal articles imported last week.
