NEW iuEK, Jan. 22.-The stock market was
not so firm yesterday and under the pressure OF
sellers prices gave way one to three per cent.
in majority Of the railroad shares. Gold
could not maintain tho speculative premium
which ii had attained by the operations of a
combination, and it fell yesterday to 1851, but
rose again and closed at l57,.
There was no alteration In the loan market.
The go Government bonds ara now reduced
to about seven millions, ard the suppOsltlon
wac that the balance of the loan would be taken
before the closC Of business to-day, The sudden
tdll IN the prices of gold had the tendency TO
unsettlc the market yesterday, and greatly re-
strlctCd commercial transactions.

done, but generally at lower prices, particularly
for flour and grain. Provisions were not
affected to any great extent. Groceries were

While II wac impossible for him TO accent

formed the ArehOishop's acquaintance in the

The Speaker announced the members on the
new standing Committee on q Uniform System
Of Coinage, Weights and Measures, namely;
Kasson, OF Iowa; Schenck, OF Ohio; Win
field, Of New York; Williams, Of Pennsylvania,
Grider, Of Kentucky.
On motion, 1t was resolved that when the
House adjourn, II be TO Monday next.
Tho House proceeded TO the consideration Of
the bill to increase the internal revenue, and for
other purposes, as reported from the Commit
tee OF the Whole on the State Of the Union,
with amendments. ..'.. ~
The House concurred in nearly all Of the
amendments, rcserving several Of them for
separate votes. The tax on spirits remains as
originally reported, namely: sixty cents gal
loni adulterated spirits, as wine, brandy, whisky,
etc., TO pay twenty cents additional. Ali spirits
on hand for sale, whether distilled prior TO tho
date Of this act or not, shall be subject to the
rates Of duty provided by this act, from and
AFTER the 18th day of January, 1854; except that
spirits which have been already taxed under
the law OF July l, 1859, shall not bear more
than the additional or increased tax provided
by this act. Cotton, heretofore exempted, TO
pay two cents pound.
The House proceeded to the consideration of
Mr.. Stevens substitute for the amended bill,
being nearly tho same as that originally re-
ported from tIit Committee of Ways and Means,
OaNing spirits 90 cents gallon, and cotton !!
cents pound, &C.,
Mr.. Stevens made brief speech, saying that
the legislation Of 1859 lnRugurated the system
the House had done to-day had unsettled II
and now proposed TO retax the same articles.
The substitute Of Mr.. Stevens was dimyrec,l
to-ycas 81, nays 100.
The amended internal revenue bill was
passed-yoas 50, nays GS.

sIGNOR CARI.o PATTI,

happears that the report current that this
young gentleman was at one time In the rebel
army, as stated in the REPUBLICAN yesterday,
was true, but we are glad to be able to add that
he was cOerced into the service of the rebels,
and upon the first opportunity, he obtained
passage on board a vessel at Mobile bound for
Havana, which vessel, in attempting to run the
blockade, was captured and taken to New York
in August last, where signor Patti, upon his
arrival, freely took and subscribed to the oath
Of alleglence TO the United States. We have
seen the certificate of a provost marshal of
New Yorkt to this effect, and now do signor
Patti the Justice to announce the fact.
