They are still some way from the bottom of

Upon the announcement of the arrival of
Prince Hassan, son Of the Khedive, with the
Egyptian contingent of $500 infantry and 1000
artillery, the Sultan ordered the sacrifice of
LOO sheep at the gates of his palace, In token
OF his thanks to God. The Prince conformed
to old-fashioned etiquette in presence of the
Sultan He touched both hands to his boots
and carried them to his head, and crossed his
arms upon his stomach while reclining his
body; but to the high officers of the palace and
other dignitaries he simply gave military
salute in the European style.

The money market has been dull during the
past week, but commercial paper has remained
| unchanged. Under the course of the New York
market gold and sterling exchange have ruled at
higher rates, closing to-day 10 above last Fri
days quotations for the former, and 10 for the
latter. In consequence OF liberal offerings (some
day or two, commercial sight on New York has
declined 1-16 " cent from it's highest point on
Monday, but still shows net advance of f-16 5P
cent on Fridays rates. Stocks are quiet but con-
tinue well maintained. Contrary to the general
expectation based on the present and probable
future political quiet OF our State and city. State
Consols and Premium Bonds have declined, the
former closing 15sc lower than last Friday, and
the latter ~. The decline in State Consols at
New York for the week has been only % 93 cent
City scrip and half paid City coupons have fallen
off slightly. State Consols show further i'm
provement.

New York, and after hmied business, closed at

NEW YORK, July 23.-The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher's discourse yesterday
evening was upon the riot growing out
of the railroad strike. He wanted to
know what right the workmen, the
members of the great organizations,
had to say to any one: "You shall not
work for wages which we refuse" They
had a right to say to the employers
1--WE will not work for you," but they
had no right to tyrannize over their fell
low men. These men have put them
selves in an attitude Of tyrannical oppo-
sition to all law and order, and thew
could not be defended. The necessities
of the great railway companies de-
manded that there should be a re-
duction of wages. There must be con-
tinued shrinkage until things come back
to the gold standard. It was true that
one dollar day was not enough to sup
port man and five children. Ii man
would persist on drinking beer and
smoking, is not one dollar day enough
to buy bread? Mr.. Beecher continued ::
water costs nothing. Man cannot live
by bread, it is true, but the man who
cannot live on bread and water is not
fit to live. When a man is educated
away from the power of self denial he
is falsely educated. A family may live
on good bread and water in the morn
ing, and bread at midday, and good
bread and water at night. Laughter.
Such may be called the bread Of affiic-
ton, but it is fit that man should eat
the bread OF affection"
