PARDoNED. - Governor Curtin has par
doned William Hopkins, who was convicted OF
the murder of Sergeant McMarity, on board the
United States steamship Bermuda which took
place in January, 1865. Hopkins was sentenced
to be hanged, but the death-warrant was not
signed. His case was taken to the Supreme
Court on a writ of error and an expression of
opinion given by the majority OF the judges that
ne was not guilty, under the testimony, of muir
der IN the first degree the essential element OF
premeditahon being wanting. As, under the
proceedings, the Court could only review the
record of the Court below, and as that was
found to be correct Hopkins would have sut-
fered the extreme penalty of the law but for the
interference of the Governor. Petitions, hume
rously signed, were forwarded to Harrisburg
praying the exercise OF Executive clemency, and
to thete were added the recommendation of Ger
tain officials Evidence has been obtained re-
Gently which goes far to show that Hopkins die
not stab McMarity.

OUTRAGEOUS CoNDUCr OF A PASSENGER

elderly pesson, requested TO be let out at cor

started the car, dragging her some twenty or
thirty feet on the ground. When demonstrated

ENTERPRIsING FEMALEs,-Rose Mans
field and Melinda Nagle, both young and tlashily
dressed girls, who said that they we're concert
saloon dancers, we've taken into custody on Sa-
turday, on suspicion that they we're engaged in
the collection of money upon false representa-
tions. One of them had subscr ption paper,
which set forth that the money was for a woman
with a sick child, and contained the names OF
sundry persons. 1t seemed from its appearance
to have been long in use. Upon being mterro-
gated neither of them could tell who the mother
with a sick child is, nor where she could be
found. She was to call upon them to get the
money if any should be collected. They were
held Tor further hearing.

PIRACY ON THE DELAwARE.-While Mr..

rest, lying at Arch street wharf, was asleep upon
the deck early yesterday morning. three coiored
men attempted TO break into his state-room.
The mate grappled with them, when he received
a severe blow over the head, which laid him
insensible. The men then broke oOen the state
room and robbed it of a gold watch and some
other articles. Officers Bowers aud Magee were
informed of the matter, and soon after three
colOred men we're arrested on the charge OF
having committed the outrage. They were held
for a further hearing. One of the men had

MONDAY Evening, June 4, 1866.
The week opens with a continued strong
mar''et for gold, the price to-day advanc-
ing a fraction over two per cent, up to the
time Of receiving our three o'clock dispatch
es, when the quotation stood 1889. Foreign
advices received yesterday, reporting con-
tinued dizziness in trade and & decline in
cotton, may have had some influence upon
the market, but seem hardly to be of suf-
fcent significance to justify so marked an
advance. The Fenian excitement may be
m~easurably responsible, not perhaps from
any anticipation that the invaders will be
able to long maintain their belligerent at
titude, but from the remote possibility that
a difficulty between the United States and
Great Britain may grow out of the o
ment, if it should really assume trouble
some. proportions. The market is q good
deal unsettled, and all Gonjectures as to its
future course must be unreliable.
Both the press and bankers dispatches
from New York with reference to Govern
ments reported a steady market, and deal
ers here found no reason to change the
closing prices OF Saturday. 1t is quite gen
orally felt that governments must continue
firm with an upward tendency so long al
it seems to be the design of Congress and
the Secretary of the Treasury to maintain
an easy money market, with the supposed
ultimate intention of floating a five pei
cent. loan. The prices here for coin and
governments closed as follows:
