Financial.

New YORK, July 2S.--The Posts financial
article says: The excitement which prevailed
yesterday in Wall street has been succeeded by
quiet feeling, and now that the matter is bet
ter understood it is apparent that there is no
reason for expecting other important suspeu-
sons on account of that of Duncan, Sherman
& Co. Very little that is new is known in re-
gard to the affairs of that coocern, and prob
ably little more will be known until the appear
ance of the statement which ex.U. S. Judge
Shipmau, assignee, is preparing. The losses
on cotton undoubtedly had much to do with
the suspension, it belog understood that over
1000, 600 will be lost on the present holdings.
10 regard to the London correspondents of the
firm, the Union Bank of London and Barring
Brothers Il Co., it is understood that both are
protected, aud it is said that both had been
guaranteed by Mr.. Alexander Duncan, father
Of Mr.. Wm. Butler Duncan, and gentleman
whose wealth is computed by millions sterling.
Ouly moderately active business is doing at
the stock and gold exchanges to-day, and there
is an absence of excitement, although an effort
was made to create furry by reason of the
stoppage of the Commercial Warehouse Go.
Securities are generally higher than Yesterday.
Io the money market quotations for call loans
are 3a4, and prime mercantile paper 3ia5.'
Soon after opening of business it was known
that the Commercial Warehouse Company
had stopped payments. This company began
business May l, 1867, with capital of two
millions of stock owned mostly 10 Cuba, aud
the main business was advancing on sugars
The officers Of the company say that the sus-
pension was FASTENED by political disturbances
10 Cuba, although directly caused by advances
on sugar; that the Indebtedness of the COM
pauy is held in Cuba, where said stock is held;
that the company had no connections nor rels.

nor any agencies in this country. The failure,
therefore, has no significance as respects Duo
can, Sherman & Co., aud none outside the
trade with Cuba. The liabilities were not fur
nisbed, the Vice President saying that they
we're not accurately Known as yet. The stock
market opened at tai above yesterdays clos

MARINE ACCIDENT. "A notice Of the acct
dent to the schooner Knight appears 10 the
marine news of todays Gazette. The wind
was blowing gale at the time the crew were
taken off, and the sea was exceedingly rough;
The names OF the crew Of the disabled vessel
are Captain Veasie aod Mate Fred Pcudleton,
who have since arrived at Portland, and Frank,
Tom and Henry A. Wiasloe, seamen, and JEFF
frey Giorrior, cook, who were brought to this
city. They saved most OF their personal effects,
though the captain lost all Of his nautical iu-
sruments. The stays Of the maiumast Of the
Knight had given way, and the loose mast had
opened the seames 10 the deck through which
it passed, and which seams were further opened
ty the wedges that were used to steady the
mast, and through these open seams the water
that covered the deck was pouring continually,
but her pumps had kept her aaoat for twenty;
four hours. The disabled vessel is supposed TO
have sunk soon after the Messer LETT her, aud
nothing belonging to her, not even her ya~l
boat, was saved.

nimity and selfheroism. Such specta-
Gle of the supremacy of soldierly gallantry
and courtesy over private resentment
would have furnished Inspiration to posts,
orators and eulogists until the end of time.
When we contrast the statesmanlike dig
nifty and quiet, Christian temper of The
ex-Presidents explanatory letter with the
eStravagant rant of the Grand Army's re-
monstrance signed swith so many mental
reservations, we tell them, in all earnest
ness and candcr, to 60 back to the disci-
pine of the camp, and there learn their
lessen OF gallantry and chivalry anew
The present agitation, growing out of my
strong desire for reconciliation and peace
and the inevitable development of your
immense possibilities, will yet be produc-
tive of the happiest results If it he de-
med me to grasp, in the hands of the hou-
ored ex-president, the hand of every citi-
zen OF the South, our association will new
ertheless receive the credit for it's noble
effort IN the work of reconciliation.
