large a crowd. and that n he wanted 10 operate

Last evenings New York Post says
"On the stock exchange yesterday, the
breakdown in gold produced almost as much
impression for the time a. a victory TO our
arms. For q brief interval, we observed a
complete stampede among the disciplined band
Of guerilla spectators, who have often dis
played an adroitness, activity, and pluck which
would do honor to abetter cause. Tho reaction
having set in, the apprehension was that II
would be kept up till the market for the precious
metals should have resumed Its normal equi-
librium. II is rumored that some OF the quick
witted gamblers In gold eHpress, sub rosa, their
creep outside the stern sweep Of the new law,
but mere adrotness pltted against the national
bill, and nagrantly violatiye TO the national In
terest, can eyentuAte In but one result.
"While in England our securities are rising
In value to so gratifying an extent, we tind that
the rebels have utterly failed In their efforts to
raise money on the London Stock Exchange.
The statement is, however, industriously pro-
pagated, that between e500,0O0 and 600, 900
Of contemplated advance of $4,000, 900 to the
Confederate Government, has been negotiated
at Paris and Frankfort by Messrs. Erlahger Il
Co. The amount Is TO be secured, at option,
by cotton at Sd. per pound, which is 10 be de-
livered on the cessation Of the blockade. We
have heard from private source that the price
at which the bonds are offered is iifty cents on
the dollar, but that the amount already taken
has been very much exaggerated.
"The market opened this morning with
more excitement than has been witnessed for
several years, the prominent feature being the
ignominlous dethronement Of King Gold and
his sudden unceremonious expulsion from his
usurped throne, and perturbing functions over
all the business Of the Stock Exchange.
:" The oyerpowering depression which has
caused such dismay In the gold market has
operated less on the bond and share lists than
might have been anticipated.
"Gold opened this morning at 100, being de
cline of per cent. as compared with the current
price of last evening. From this point 1t rush
cd down to $50, at which quotation several con
siderable parcels changed hands. heroic CT
fort was, however, made by the dispirited spec
ulators, which was rewarded by a recovery, and
over 81 SOC, 600 Of gold was disposed Of al
prices varying from 1853 to l57. The ground
thus gained was, however, soon lost again, and
the line Of rest as VIC 60 to press must be drawn
at 1856.
"There is a fair inquiry for loans on demand
at previous rates; but the suspense attaching tC
the new stamp arrangements affecting lOar
! transactions dries up some of the innumerablI

some of the large lending institutions. Capita
