LONDON, March 80. The 1anes city
article" says:
Business in the various markets yes,er-
day was chiefly for the purpose of closing
up transactions until Tuesday next, since,
although the Stock Exchange will be open
on Saturday, the operations on that day
are not likely to be large. There will be no
resumption Of activity until Tuesday next.
The English funds opened without the
slightest symptom of recovery from the
depressed prices of yesterday, and subse-
quently experienced a further fah, which,
however, was temporary. The first and
last price was S6sCGs6a, but at one time
there was decline of S6i The next ac-
count is fixed for the 9th Of MAY.
The increased depression, during the
AFTERNOON was consequent upon the tclc-
grams of further downward tendency on
the Frankfort and Paris Bourse
The Post says:
We enter on the Easter holidays nndvr
the most unfavorable circumstance The
Austro-Prussian difficulties excite great
attention, and the "bears" are taking
great advantage of the unsatisfactory po-
sltion OF affairs to depress prices as far ut
possible.

From HarIi sburg.

HARRISBURG, June 2s.--A special telegraphic
despatch from this city, to Philadelphia morn
ing paper, misstated the facts connected with
the preparation OF history of the Pennsylva-
mia Regiments during the late war.
The despatch stated that Samuel H. Bates had
been selected to prepare that history. This is
an error, as Samuel B. Thomas, formerly Deputy
Secretary of the Commonwealth, and for three
years past the special Military Aid of Governor
Curtin, has been detailed to get up this history,
MIR. Bates having been elected to assist Mr.
Thomas in gathering local history and follow
ing up the details of the record. Mr.. Thomas
has had under his special charge the records
from which this history Is to be mainly made
up, land is withal eminently qualified, by educa-
| ton, sound judgment, and impartial indepen-
dence, for the task.
1t is officially announced that of the late
Pennsylvania Reserve Corps about 10000
| claims OF privates are yet unpaid. The great
majority of these privates either fell in battle,
perlshed In hospitals, or have died since the
close of the war. The money is due to the
families of such as well as to the soldiers who
| have survived the contest.
State Treasurer Kemble, who is President of
the Broad of Claims, is desirous that these
| accounts shall be settled, and has ordered
blanks to be printed, which will be forwarded
TO all soldiers of the Reserve Corps, as well as
to the widows of such as have pershed, imme-
dlately on their application by letter to the
Board of CLAIMS at Harrisburg, 1t is we'll
enough to have it distinctly understood that it
is unnecessary to employ any agent for the col
lection of these claims, as it requires legal
ability to do so.
The necessary blanks and instructions will be
furnished on application to the Board of Claims
to all claimants 1t is essentially desired that
the press throughout the country will give these
facts prominent place in their columns, for the
benefit of soldiers and the protection of the
widows and orphans of soldiers.

Ladies of the White House,

The presidents estimable daughters, Mrs.
Patterson and Mrs. Slower, who preside over
the executive mansion MRS. johnson herself
being an invalid), by their courtssey and hos.
pitality, are doing much to sweeten the mood
of politicians, and to make life at the metro
polls amiable as well as attractive. 1t is as
when Henry Clay once said to Mrs President
Polk Madam, / never heard anything but
praise of your administration, though occa-
sionally have heard some slight objection
to your husband's." At their first drawing
room this season, as the large and brilliant
party were ushered into the scarlet room,
they were introduced first to Mrs. Senator
Patterson, and subsequently to her sister,
Mrs Slower, who occupied n position at her
right hand. The duties of the introduction
devolved on Major james K. O'Brien, deputy
marshal of the district, who performed his
duty with ease and propriety. Our lady
readers will be interested in the following
description of the manner in winch the dis
tinguished sisters were attired;
Mrs. Patterson was dressed in black velvet,
trimmed with black lace, and made with high cor
sage and coat sleeves, with pOint-ace collar
fastened with simple jet pin set in pearls and
corresponding to the ornament worn In the ears.
She wore white kid gloves, and bore in one hand
white fan and lace handkerchief and in the
other small, exquisite cluster of flowers. Her
hair was done up IN the fashionable style of the
season, fizzed III front, gathered in a OF
curls behind, Crecian braid passing over and
concealing the comb confining them, and white
japonica, with another delicate white flower,
carelessy fastened the hair, the left ear.
Mrs. Slower dressed in all respects like her
sister, Mrs. Patterson, excepting that she wore
heavy MORE antique instead ofvelvet, and she had
no flowers in her hand. Her hair was in the style
of her sisters adorned with a small white flower.
