Brigadier General james L. Kiernan has
received and accepted the appointment of
Consul. General to China. General Kier-
nan is of direct Irish descent, graduate OF
Yale College and of the Medical Depart
ment of the University of New York.
He entered the service as surgeon of the
Sixty-ninth (Irish) Regiment Of New York
Volunteers. He after ward served with
Fremont in Missouri, and with General
Curtis in the memorable Pea Ridge cam
paign. Subsequently he resigned on &C.
count of wounds received at Fort Gibson,
and returned to New York. At the time oil
the New York riots he offered his services
to the Government was accepted, and
placed as field officer st the arsenal. He
was commissioned Brigsdier General for
services rendered in the field, August lst,
1863" In the fall of 1864 he visited this
city and addressed his Irish fellow-citizsDs
eIcquently in behalf of the cause of Lincoln

of Consul General 10 China has fallen into
so worthy hands.

GOLD MARhBT.

NEW YORK, September IL.
The Commercial says the supply of gold
is being heavily drawn upon by the de-
msnd for duties, for the South, and for for
eign export. It isimpoSsible to cay wheth-
or the Sub Treasury is selling, secrecy be-
ing observed in these operations with most
scrupulous care. Merchants are embsr-
rsssed by this secret management OF public
business. They can form no opinion as to
the probable movements of the Treasury
in matters of selling gold, and therefore
cannot Judge as to the probable course OF
premium. If the Government would sell
fifteen millions of gold within the next
sixty daya, it is quite likely that it would
prevent lise of five per cent. in premium,
but who can say whether or not that will
be the policy of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. This uncertainty is very embarrass-
ing to buyers of gold and exchange, and
indeed to merchants generally. The price
was steady to- day at l44a.

The stock market continues dull, but
prices are rather frmer. The bear interest
slowly gathers strength, and is about evenly
distributed over tie railroad list. Erie was
dull and pressed for sale. Reading was &C.

market was generally steady, except on
Erie which was heavy and lower. Erie
combination has sold very largely during
the past few days, and the street Is noW
struggling with heavy load. Hence the
weakness of the movement in Old South

director has changed from the bull to the
bear side and sold options on him at 66c.
Parties who bought these privileges are en-.
gineering for rise.
