Effects Of the Battle Of Metz On the Gold
and Stock Markets.

NEW YORK, August 15.-The vari-
Gus markets at the Stock Exchange
were agitated and excited this morn
ing, by the reported severe battle at
Metz, between the French and Prus-
SLAMS, and although both sides claim
q victory, the more general belief is,
that the Prussian arms are victorious.
This, followed by the reported ad-
vance of one per cent in 5-20'S at Lon
don, and the firm feeling at the Lon
don Change, had a depressing effect
upon gold transactions. In the fore
noon the market was dull, but
gold was strong for time,
owing to a doubt whether the
battle of Metz was a victory for
Prussia or France; but late in the day
the market was weaker on reports of
another Prussian victory. At the
Stock Exchange matters were in
tensely dull. The money market is
very easy; call loans, 3tG5 per cent.
Foreign exchange quiet and steady at
109s@110s for sight bills. Gold opened
at 1l74, touched l174, fell to ll65, ral-
lied to 117I, and closed strong at 1I65
@117. Carrying rates, which reflect a
large short interest, 194 per cent, and
for borrowing, 1-64C92 per cent. clear
ances, $40, ,000,0 Government Sc
curities dull, but steady. State bonds
dull; old Tennessees, 634; new do,
63!. Stocks opened steady, but fell of
little on leading shares.

A Serions Riot.

On Tuesday, July 12th, while the Or
angemen were celebrating the anniversary of
the battle of the Boyne, at Elm Park, New
York, attack was made upon them by
about 300 Irish laborers, which resulted in
serious riot and the death of five persons,
and the wouGdiug Of about one hundred
others. This riot embodies host of histo-
rical antecedoDts. A. far back as the ninth
century there was founded in the South Of
France principaiity of Orange, which in
1870 fell ly Inheritance into the possession
of a Dutch Priuce-the Prince of Nassau-
the ancestor of That William of Orange, who
IN the revolution OF 1858, was called to the
throne of England. His predecessor and
competitor James l., found loyal support
in ireland, and so it came to pass that a
hundred AMI sixty eight years ago, July /,
1880, and, old style, July -, new stylel,
the great battle Oft the Boyne was fought,
which decided not only the fate Of the
House Of Stuart in England, but also that
OF the Catholic religion, James being a
Catholic and William a Protestant. The
remarkable thing Is, that the Ill feeling Of
those days should have survived so long
into modern times, and that Just as a hun
dred and eighty years ago Catholic Irish
men fought Protestant Irishnsn at Doyne
Water, on Tuesday, on the anniversary Of
the battle, the defendants Of these two fac
tions should be thirsting for each Others
blood in an American city, three thousand
miles away from the field of the original
conflict, Is it not about time that this
wicked animosity was suffered TO die cut,
and the quarrcls of past centuries left to
sleep in oblivion?
