Financial and Commercial summary
for the Past Week.

Nothing ofan important or startling nature has
arisen IN financial or commercial matters. during
the week Gold and railroad shares have declin-
ed under the aspect of the news from the army
on the Mississippi river below. Memphis and
Government stocks somewhat improved: but
there is n general suspense Notwithstanding, and
the wheels OF move slowly i'm all the
leading markets, and a general dulluess prevailed
throughout. The demand for money continues
on a limited scale, and the market rules easy at
6 TO 8 per cent. for acceptable business paper. and
the amount of such offering is light. far below
the demand for it, and this is the case in all other
markets Exchange on the seaboard cities re-
main steady at the quotations current for some
months, with but a modera e demand.
The quotations for exchange. coin and Govern
ment orders, &c, at the close last evening were

The weather has been quite cool unusually so,
during the greater portion of the last week, and.

and the temperature was rising rapidly last even

The great scarcity of coal, and the low stage of
water in the river, have produced "A good deal of
alarm, and the few dealers who have coal. have
put up prices materially. the best grade to S40c

rates sell sparingiy. 1t is estimated that there is
not over six weeks suppl, OF coal in the city now,
so that II will he seen that unless there Is a good
stage of water in the river during the greater por-
ton of the remainder of the wear. a fuel famine
in this city is inevitable and there is great danger
that we will have some of the experience Of
1919 and 1861 over again Firewood is now
selling ut $40 per cord. and in but light supply at
that. We understand that there is n large ouan
tity of coal dug out at the mines in Western
Pennsylvania. so that the only obstacle in the
way of supply will he the want of transportation
facilities. and nothing short of n good stage of
water in the river can furnish these.
The business of the week has been Of a limited
nature. md prices of breadStuffs are generally
lower. Flour has been neglected for the greater
portion Of the week. and prices we're merely nom
inal. Holders did not feel disposed to relinquish
the advantage they gained in the early part ofthe
week. but buyers. under the discouraging news
from New York, withdrew from the market, and
the speculative demand noticed in our last ceased
altogether. Wheat has been dull also, and prices
largely declined. Corn and oats have not
changed much. though corn has ruled a shade
higher Whisky remains at Ale.
There has been but a very limited business done
in provisions, and prices are and have been. to a
great extent. nominal. Holders are not willing
to follow the New York market, and for all ar
ticles are asking prices much higher relatively
than those current there. thus rendering business
of any amount ont of the question. The receipts
of all articles in the provision line Mt New York,
from the West. continue very large. and there
being but a limited demand, prices are gradually
giving way there. New mess pork is selling Mt

review we give tine quotations for all articles. and
the few sales which have taken place. Sugar
and molasseS are hrmer, and the former fully &c
higher than the lowest point touched during the
week. under the news from the seaboard mar
kets, where the stocks are unusually light, and
prices tending upward. Linseed oil has been in
god demand and prices are l0c higher, with n
demand from the East. The stock here is light.

The Nassau Negroes shouting for
Dixie AdmiraI wilkes Saluted
with Gr0ans.


On the 18th inst. the Yankee steamship Van
derbilt, Rear Admiral Wilkes, from Havana,
steamed up TO Nassau and sent a boat ashore
with dispatches for the Yankee Consul. The
most ludicrous scene took place on the arrival of
the small boat at one of the wharves. The
fences and cotton bales around were covered with
n swarm of Nassau negroes, who received the
Yankees with jeers. taunts and groans. Blank
amazement pictured itself on the faces of the
crew, while the officer in command was evidently
nervous and nonpiussed.
During the stay of the boat at the wharf, the
darkies INDUCED in such cynical reflections as
these: "Gollv, how dey q put out fde 300 was in
sight" al wonder il dey's heard from Charles
toni" Ill Cap'n Mafit's fere, he'd sink dem in

names and phrases to suit his disgust for his
Northern auditors. He also produced Dixie"

returned and the Loaf pushed of, cheers were
given for JEFF. Davis. and three tremendous

torted not a word. When the sun rose next

A SUGGESTIVE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ACCUSED

a
REFUSE TO APPEAR.
II is stated that parties alleged to have been
Implicated in these frauds refused to appear be-
fore Mr.. Jourd"n. by counsel. denying the right
or authority of the court to bring them. No pro-
cess was Issued to compel them. The same par
ties are still connected with the prize sales, draw
ing large emoluments therefIom.
CONCLUSION OF THE INVESTIGATION.
The inquiry was Closed a few DAYS since. hav-
ing occupied several weeks. The testimony was
voluminous. and in slarge number of instances,
sufficiently corroborative to create apprehension
among some OF the parties Interested in the de-
cision. Mr.. Jourdan, though generally stoical
during the sessions, at times appeared surprised
at-the revelations ELECTED: and his address ut the
close, gave evidence that he was ready to discard
his statement made at the first session. that he
did not believe the enquiry was of much import
ance. Immediately previous to the adjournment
he expressed his congratulation to the counsel Of
the committee of merchants who had tho alledg-
ed frauds brought to the notice of the Govern
ment, for their urbane and courteous action
throughout He also >aid that, without attempt
ing to give a decision which might bear on. or
anticipate the result. he considered the inquiry
which had taken place, of more importance than
any which had taken place in the history Of the
Government. He named certain parties in the
case. involved IN the frauds of their official char
acter, who had. he said, left important points un
expl lined. which were not overlooked by him,
and could not be by the Government.
We have the names of all accused. but. desire
not to ~fOresiill the action of the Government, we
omit their publication.

CHAEGEs OF BRIBERY.

Such was The frequency and ease with which
reductions on the amounts at which cargocs we've
sold were obtained, that one buyer thought he
should also enjoy asimilar privilege. although he
confessed he had no right to such a favor. He
purchased a lot of goods from the steamer Slet
tin; and subsequently, obtaired from the Court. a
reduction of a little less than one thousand dol
lars. In order to obtain this reduction il is stated
that a gentleman connected with the Prize Com
missioner's office was TO, and did receive. about
one fourth of the amount; and that a counsel who
sh iuld have interposed. received a lee not to op
pose the application. We have the names of all
the parties said to be implicated in this transac
ton. but at present we refrain from publishing
them.
