FROM NEW YORK.
Affairs in NIerfcn.

|
| of the Matamoras merchants.
| The several columns which moved sim
ultaneously. as previously announced, have
reached their destinations. General Jeanin-
gras had occI pied Monterey, and Geneia al
Douary held Saltillo, while Douen was
| in possession of Victoria. Only General
Jeaningras had encountered any forces of
the Liberals. These he had driven from
his route, and had reached Monterey with
out loss. But practically, these marches
had done no good, the Liberals returning to
them in force as soon as the Imperial
columns had passed. and so obstructing the
roads as to render transit into the entire in
| terror impossible. They had made their re-
appearance near Matamoras.
The Matamoras merchants had given up
all hope of reopening trade with the in
terror.
The announcement that the Cordova rebel
colony had proven failure is confirmed,
and the eXiles are abandoning Carlotta for
want of Imperial protection from the Mex
lean guerrillas. General discomfort pre-
vailed among the colonists.
Adjournment of Stock Boards.
New YORK, April Booth the regular
and open stock boards will adjourn to-day
after the one O'clock sessions, out of respect
to the memory of Mr.. John Ward, on old
member of the Stock Exchange, who died
yesterday.
Another Revolution in ~. DO-
mlDgO.
st. Domingo advices state the Govern
ment of President Rocz had hardly been
inaugurated before an effort was made to
overturn and destroy it. A revolt had taken
place in the province of San Cristoval and
various towns, headed by General Cabral
Congress, which was in session, promptly
voted the men and means to suppress the
revolt, and by few vigorous blows Boez
had defeated and routed the rebels and OBJ
tanned the mastery in the revolted districts.
The rebel leader Cabral, who had been
prominent in placing Boez in the Presiden-
tial chair, had asked permission to leave the
country.
Ehe Case of r.. A. Stansbury.
Judge Ingraham has delivered his decis-
ion as to the motion made before him to
furnish Mr.. f. A. Stansbury, President OF
the Morris Insurance Co.. for contempt of
Court in not being sworn and producing
his books before the Referee appointed by
Judge Barnard. The decision Is averse to
Furnishing Mr.. S. for contempt, as that
gentleman could not be supposed to know
| which of the two orders he was compelled
to obey. The action of Judge Barnard in
appointing Mr.. Hackctt Receiver in place
of Mr.. Stansbury, is laid down as perfectly
valid. The former. gentleman, however,
having resigned, Mr.. Cyrus Curtis has
been appointed to the position.
A Protest Against ExOrbilant
kgenIs.
A mass meeting of labOring people, COM
posed Of men and women, was held in
| Tonpkns square yesterday afternoon, to
consider the rent question. Addresses
were delivered in German and English,
and resolutions passed calling upon the
Legislature for a remedy against eXtor-
| tionists and rapacious house owners and
agents.
The Fenians.
The Herald says: A larger quantity of
money than has been received for some
time came into the O'Mahony Fenian
headquarters yesterday.
The Irish Fenians who had to fly to this
country held a Convention yesterday at
267 BOwery. They were interrupted by
officials from Union square. who were dis
posed of by the police. The Convention
sent committee to ask the Killian-
O'Mahoncy leaders what they are doing
with the immense sums received tor L. K
X. b. purposes. The Senate meets on
Monday, April 9th.
Financial.
The Commercial says: The stock mar
ket took a strong upward bound this morn
ing, chiefly on the cOrnering operation on
the Michigan Southern. 1t is understood
| that short contracts to the extent of about
10000 shares mature about this time, which
gives the control of the prices entirely into
the hands of the clique. The transactions
in Michigan Southern were not large, but
the price rose to S73a regular, and closed at
81 cash. The whole market was strong
in sympathy with the Michigan Southern.
Cleveland & Pittsburgh rose Il, apparently
under clique operations. Fort Wayne
stronger, os'ng at 9014. Rock Island
touched at III. Lie is eglected and weak.
| Governments are less active but without
any material change in price.
Money is in more active demand, and al
though there is no difficulty in borrowing,
| yet the rate is generally per cent, with
exceptions at per cent. Discounts are
rather more active. The increased activity
of business is attended with more liberal
offers of paper, the rates being rather firm
cr. Prime names range at 7@S per cent,
with exceptions at 6l6 per cent.
Foreign Exchange is dull. The leading
drawers ask 1865 for sixty days sterling
and can sell moderate amoInts at chat rate,
but no large transactions could be effected
at over 10G1a.
Gold is active. The short contracts out
standing appear to be still quite considera-
bic. There is more demand for gold on
loan, the rate being 1s per cent, per day.
The price has ranged at 127l5@l272I.
The tone of business in Petroleum and
Mining Stocks has been to some extent
broken down by the failure of three firms
of brokers on Shade river contracts. At
the morning board, however, the market
for good stocks was stronger and more
active.
Gen. Hooker.
New YORK, April 3-The gallant Major
General Joseph Hooker is gradually re-
covering from the severe illness which has
confined him to bis room for the last three
months. He appeared upon the street to-
day, leaning upon the arm of an attendant.
Suspicious.
New YORK, April 3.-The Express has
rumor of the equipping and putting to sea
OF fleet of vessels commanded by ex-
perienced officers, and that certain pronii-
nent Fenians are absent from their ac-
customed posts.
