REPORTED PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
A report has been current to the effect that
the Richmond Sentinel announced the depar-
ture Of three peace commissioners for Wash,
ington. The effect on the gold market was
such that it rapidly fell in all the principal
cities to 2ll, and yesterday there was further
decline to 205 Up to- noon to day we have
no official confirmation OF the rumor, though
the assertion has been varied by III equally
positive announcement that the commissioners
consisting of the Confederate Vice President
sStephens, and Senators 4. NJ. L. Hunter and
Campbell, had arrived at City Point, and were
expected at Annapolis yesterday. They are
not spoken of as commissioners representing
the Confederate Government, but as citizens
representing the people, on their way to Wash
ington, to confer with President Lincoln on
tie subject Of peace, precisely In the same
capacity that Mr. Blair visited Richmond.
The New York Tribune has double
leaded' editorial, giving story, apparently
nnon no foundation but that of loose rumor
ifthat. about Bishop Lynch of S. c., being IN
Europe, and forming a plot with the Catholc
powers, France, Spain Austria, &c, to recog-
nize the South after the 4th OF March next,
ners,,ulading them that such recognition
would be tor the benefit OF the Catholic
Church, &C., &c. After double leading this
tale the Tribune says: We give this story
az it reaches us, without assuming that II has
other foundation than the sanguine hopes OF
the rebels and their European friends,

so from the third floor near the stage of the :
lecture room, and on the top floor. The Treas
urer, Mr.. Taffany, who had gone to the roof to
turn on the water, found his exit cut of, and
was obliged to decend from the upper window
by leaping to the balcony below. Returning
to his office, lie took from his safe $4,000 in
