COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.

GOLD is quoted up to 40, at last, and
the tendency seems to be still upward.
Government bonds did not follow coin
yesterday as was the case last week
but took rather marked downward
turn. 1t would seem that within the
last few days there has been a return of
1865 bonds from Europe, larger guam
tity having been sent out than could
find sale. Foreign exchange has been
more stringent than usual, and gold is
therefore in demand. The supply from
the Treasury on account of the July in
terest is said to come upon the market
very slowly, rs is shown by the limited
increase of specie in the New York
banks last week, which was less
than two millions.
The ease in the money market is be-
ing daily increased by payments OF
7-3O interest, as well as the principal
and interest Of compound notes,
amounting in all to some twenty-one
millions. The pouring out of so much
currency from the Golfers of the Gov
eminent will be likely to prevent any
stringency from the heavy payments
on account of income tax.
The New York Post, OF Monday
evening, says that "the movement
made by the Park Bank limiting the
payment of interest on deposits to 3
per cent, it is stated, will probably be
followed by other banks, and we may
soon ex pect to see the paying OF inter-
est on deposits entirely discontinued.
AT no distant day, instead OF the pay
ment of interest inviting deposits, it
will, as an evidence of insecurity, have
the effect of driving the depositors
away"
Every right thinking man, having
regard for the credit and reputation of
the country, will be glad to learn that
the committee appointed by Secretary
McCulloch to count the funds in the
vaults OF the Treasury Department,
have completed their investigations,and
the result OF the count shows few
dollars in the Treasury over the
amount that the books call for. The
amount of national funds which has
passed through the Treasurer's hands
since March, 1861, is about Sl4, 500, O00,-
900. The committee state in their
report TO the Secretary: 1--WE found
the money on hand at the close of the
fiscal year, ending on the Goth of June
last to agree in every particular with
the balance shown on the accounts.
The cash at that time was 50 $50, 676 II"

to interfere in such matters unless re-
uuired by Congress. The opinion of

NEW YORK. July l6.-Additional par
ticulars of the execution OF Macmillan
have been received. When leaving the
convent MnXimiliHn exclaimed, "What
beautiful clear heavens. II is Snch AS
desired for the hour OF death" All three
were dressed with Scrupulous care. The
officer OF the firing party begged of
Macmillan forgiveness, saying ne dis
approved of the execution, but must
obey orders. Macmillan replied that
II soldier must always comply with his
orders. THANK ydu with all my heart
for your kind sentiments, but expect
that you will comply with the orders.
Macmillan gave Miraulon the centre
US his post.
Meiia's wife ran distractedly through
the streets just bafOre the execution
carrying her new BORN babe.
Juarez refused to deliver up Maxi
milian's body, aid said it must be
made the subject OF treaty.
There is great antiputhy towards the
Americans because they asked Maxi
milian's life.
Princess Salm- Salm devised means
for the escape of the Emperor, but was
betrayed by an officer To whom she con-
tided the secret who took bride OF
S25 600 in diamonds. She was ordered
10 leave QueraIerO with her attendants.
A fight IS probable between Cortinas
and Berreoz4bOl. Both are recruiting.
Cortinas has been ordered to occupy the
Rio Grande with an army OF Is 900 men.
The United states is hated because OF
interference in behalf OF Macmillan.

The steamer Ajax, from Liverrool
arrived from Hong Kong, May oath

pestilence at MHneytus. 1t was at ii st

The state OF the Island is dreadful; the
people lying in the streets, dead and

tons were insufficient. Huts were

among the soldiers was great.
