NEW YORK LETTER.

Correspondence Of the Philada Inq uirer1
NEW YORK, March 5.-The "avalanche'
has come at last, and everybody that has been
specializing in gold is making haste to stand
from under. Though the crash was expected,
but few believed that it would commence to-
day. The decline for the day is about ten per
cent. The rush 10 sell on the part Of holders
Of small amounts has been tremendous, and the
anxiety in these cases seems to be not SO much
to obtain the highest premium as to get rid Of
the precious metal before the premium, for the
moment, goes to lower points.
Brokers who were large buyers yesterday
are sellers to-day, and some Of the brethren
are heavy LOSERS but there is no sympathy for
them, not a tit They have been specializing
and growing rich as it were, of the very life
blood Of the country, and SO what IS their loss,
now is gain on the right side The excite
ment in William and Wall street till late in the
day, was most remarkable one. The crowd

On. Fo1 that matter indeed, even carriages
in the streets were occasionally under blockade
and at one time the interference Of the police
was necessary.
The effect of this sudden reaction is visible,
however, far beyond the confines Of Wall an6
William Streets At the Corn exchange. at the
provisions market, and the real estate Offices,
prices are either quoted down, Or else business,
for the time being, IL at dead stand. On all
hands, in short, the day has been one, both as
regards money and merchandise. wholly with

In Baltimore, last night, three young men
posted themselves on Saratoga street, between
Holiday and North streets, and attempted to
stab colored females, who were passing on their
way to church. One received stab in the right
breast, near the ar1npit, which penetrated
about quarter of an inch. The blade of the
knife which inflicted the wound vas small, and
she discovered the weapon in the hand of the
man as he was in the act of striking, and drew
back SO that the blow lost much Of It's force
The fact was Immediately made known to
Can't Mitchell at the central police station,
who at once started q posse Of policemen in
search of the parties, but all efforts to discover
them we're fruitless.
The reaction in the premium for gold coin
over paper money commenced on " ednesday
and continued yesterday, falling from the max
imum of 723 per cent. on Tuesday to So, de-
cline of 49, per cent. in two days This sud
den reaction is ascribed to various causes, but
the operation Of the stamp tax on all tranSac-
tons in gold over three days and upon all loans
upon gold and bullion, passed by Congress as
part of the revenue law, is generally accepted
as the principal cause OF the movement.
