N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.

Prom the N. Y. Herald.
'The controlling influence operating upon the
gold market to-day, and more remotely upon the
course OF prices at the Stock Exchange, was the
curious intelligence from Paris that the new French
Ministry, with their decided prediction for the
Napoleonic ideas and dynasty, have been
confirmed by the French Legislature, at a
time, too when Wall street was led 20 believe
that the French cause was so demolished
as to leave hope for no alternative save peace with
out Napoleon. The sudden strength which the En-
peror has thus shown has checked temporarily all
speculations TO his dethronement ana the aooli-
tOn OF the empire and started grave fears whether
the people OF France, sharing his shame and dis
grace, may not second him to the uttermost OF their
ability in restoration of French prestige The Gold
Room taking this view OF the situation, began to
look for a prolonged war-a change in sentiment
which rendered gold firmer.
"The gold market was feverish and unsettled be-
tween the extremes OF the day, which were 115%
and ll72S. The Importance attaching to the situa-
influence of reduction in the Bank OF England rate
OF discount TO 5L per cent-the alteration having
been made at the usual weekly meeting of the di
rectoTs this mornng-and the secret of lower
quotations for our Fve-twentes in London to-day,
despite the easier discount figure at bank-an incon-
sistency which surprised those who had not given
full value to the doings in Paris. Gold opened as IL
closed last evening, in the vicinity Of ll52l, and
eventually rose to ii13a, from which it declined to
1885, on the report OF another Prussian victory
This report lacking continuation there a second
advance to 11726, from which there was a decline at
the close to III the of recovery TO Sc for
our fve-twenties in London-a recuperative move
nent of the market abroad for which we have stead
lastly looked in view OF the inevitable enhancement
OF American credit, whether Prussia ends the war
by following her victories to the gates of Paris or
France prolongs it 10y grand rally at the present
critical uncture The only alternatives in the case
are the later or speedier enhancement of that credit
The appreciation itself is a fixed fact.
"1n the gold loan market the rate ranged from four
per cent. for carrying to 1at for borrowing. Tue
operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as fol-
lows:-Gold cleared, sl02,005,0O0; gold balances,
S1.705,6 $50; currency balances, So 092. 192.
1.-THE better demand for money arising out OF the
larger volume of business and enhanced prices at
the Stock Exchange, induced some of the banks to
call their five per cent loans to the brokers' whose
wants were, however readily supplied from other
sources at the same rate. Prime houses freely
accommodated at as low as four per cent. stocks,
and the Government dealers were easy borrowers
at three to four per cent Commercial paper is in
moderate supply at az to ~ per cent, with to 81
per cent. bid, for prime double name acceptances"

the Prn..ian Volunteer Navv.

To increase the naval forces of the country
during the war; the King of Prussia offers to
charter and arm at his expense any number of
ships that VII take part in the pending hostili-
ties. The crews will have to be supplied by ths
owners, subject 10 the approval of the
form of the Federal navy, and be
treated in every respect on an equal foot

stroyed, she viii be paid for by the Govern

premium of $4,000 tbalers for an IRON cased fri
gate, 1000 thalers for iron-cased corvette or
ram, 10000 thaleTs for an iron battery, 1900
thalers for a screw vessel and 10000 thalers for
a screw of smaller dimensions. If ship is

to one-tenth her value, which is awarded on the
charter-party being signed.

former enactments In regard to Georgia, rem
dered unnecessary the conditions which had
been, before the adoption OF that Amendment at
tached TO Virginia and Mississippi, i agreed that
those conditions be stricken from it when the bill

FEARFUL ACCIDENT TO CHILDREN.
Fall Of n ScaffoId In Worcester-One Hundred
and Fifty children Precipil ated TO the Floor.

and Fifty children Prectpit ated TO the Floor.
From the Worcester Spy, Aug. 10.
An accident happened in Mechanics Hall yester.
day morning which cannot be allowed TO pass with
ness that was the cause Of the fall. The hall WAS
open for the practising OF the children, under the
direction of Mr.: Harley Newcomb, of Boston, who
has for some time past been drilling them for a
series OF concerts the first to be given last night.
The chorus platform was a slender scaffoding,
seventeen feet high in the rear, and sloping down
past the front OF the stage, where it rested
on small posts with tiers OF seats from
top to bottom. When the children were
seated, about 150 OF them, a cracking noise was
heard, and Mr. Newcomb went around to the rear OF
the structure tosee what made the noise. He looked
up just in time 10 see the framework parting and
before he could get back to the 'front.' that half OF
the scatfold on which the children seated fell
with crash, bringing the children and broken
boards and sticks to the floor, in mass It was at
first thought that seyeralwere killed. and the shrieks
OF the wounded and frightened made it a scene OF
confusion that Immediately called together crowd
OF people, who eXtricaed the boys and girls finding
none OF them dangerously hurt, but some with
broken bones, and many OF them more or less in
iured bad the Mibury chorus, numbering 100,
been seated on tie platform, the result would have
been much more serious.
The platform was slimpsy, miserably- reconstructed
affair, and any one who would send it out from the
shop for the purpose of supporting children seven
teen feet from the ground deserves 10 be severely
ceDsured, and II also seems strange that any one
could place the children upon it if they gave
thought to its weak and insufficient construction.
Mr.. Newcomb saws that he did feel uneasy about It,
but it stood the pressure OF 800 children in Provi-
a few days since; and being assured by the build
ers that 1t amply strong he felt that he could
rely upon it for the Worcester concerts, after which
he intended TO send it back to'the buders-Morton
& Chesley, OF Boston-whom he had told that 1t was
not such one as he had ordered. 1t was built at
cost of 1925, and was Intended for use in fifty or
seventy-fve concerts, had its strength heen snni-
cient to suit Mr.. Newcomb, who says that he gave
directions for much stronger structure
