MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL,

VIRGINIA BoNDs.-J. A. Hambleton & Cos
Baltimore financial circular of Saturday last saws
Virginia bonds were rather neglected, the
transactions in them being smaller than usual and
the tendency rather to lower prices. Consols sold
from 81 y to % but again Inclined to 5I3. At
about % there was quite marked disposition to
sell consols, but the demand being slight they
were not pressed for sale. The few foreign orders
received were to sell, but the bonds offered were
generally limited above the market. The short
interest i'll conSOlS, which ut one time was very
large, has been pretty much covered and this ele-
mcnt of support has been withdrawn from the
market Tcn-forties are steady at about 43 sew
cral lots We're taken for investment at about these
figures. Peclcrs We're rather heavy and the ad-
vance OF last week was not maintained. They
were quoted at 30 to 80. Peeler coupons sold at
30 At 30 for pcclcrs and 40 for the coupons
these bonds pay per cent to the holders. As the
market value OF peeler coupons depends upon the
value of the new Riddleberger bonds lin which
they are fundabe ut so cents on the dollar de-
cline in the bends would cause a corresponding
fall in the price of coupons COnsol coupons are
steady at about 81 and 1O-40 coupons at 60 10.
The State OF Virginia had thirty days in which to
take an appeal IN the 10-4O coupon case in which
the mandamus was granted compelling the State
to receive 1910 coupons for taxes, &c. The time
il M6fh AZ gPfa ns R t se do xsr not
peal before the ODD inst. the Treasurer will be
Obliged to receive the coupons, in which case both
the lO-4O bonds and coupons would advance.
Under any circumstances the 1910 bonds are
cheap, as the Court of Appeals if the case is car
red to it, would decide in favor of the bond
holders"

Letter from Culpeper County.

Correspondence of the Alexandria GuZette
CGLPEPER, Va, July 5.-Notwithstand-
ing the great "outcry" about the midget
and the army worm, the wheat crop of this
section is unprecedented and the oat crop
conserably above the average. The corn is
looking splendidly and the cattle and sheep
are commanding prices far beyond the ex-
pcctaton of the farmers. Everything con-
sidered, the prospect for Old Virginia never
was better, and had it not been for the bane-
full cry Of the demagogical readuster the
credit of our old State would have been
"par excellence simon pure" Democratic
Massey is in the ascendency in this county
and pseudo liberalism" is at IL heavy
discount
The town of Culpeper never looked more
attractive and the authorities have done
much within the past few months to attract
the eye of the stranger and add comfort to
the citizens in the way of paving the walks
and planting shade and ornamental trees
along the principal streets.
The approaching Monday being regular
court day, We look for heavy business by
the merchants Principal and conspicuous
for urbanity and responsibility is the house
Of Messrs: Fray & Co., of whom Major
pals, and more perfect gentlemen cannot be
found south Of Mason and Dixon's line.

From hlexanlris.

The city Of Alexandria is still patroIled by
an international police force made up OF
British blue Jackets and marines from the
neutral ships of war in the harbor
During Saturday night there was report
that Arab Pacha was marching upon Alex
andria. Although Admiral Seymour gave
little crcdcnce TO the report, still he took
every precaution, and mines were sunk i'm
front Of the gates, the work being done in
an ostcntious way, i'll order to ensure the
fact reaching Arabi's ears. All the available
marines and sailors were sent to the front.
in the expectation that Arab would attempt
TO enter the city. II is stated that Arab is
awaiting rciniorcemcnts from Cairo.
The khcdive has dismissed ARABIA Pacha
from the ministry of war
Yesterday evening reports were received
that Arab had secured reniorcements from
Cairo, and was advancing, intending to at
tack the city. Reconnaissance was made,
and the reports were confirmed. Late at
night all the posts on the Qualifications we're
strongly reinforced, two fugitivcs Europeans
having come i'll with arcport authenticating
the native rumor as to Arab's intention to
make all attack. Every prccaution was
therefore taken.
The rapacity Of the mob which sacked
the city after the evacuation was not exap-
gerated by the first accounts, and the burn
ing seems to have been deliberately planned,
Five of the incendiaries were shot yester-
day, and ten Arabs, guilty of robbery, out
rage and other crimes, were logged by the
English sailors.
Arabs force consists of four regiments of
infantry, 800 irregular troops and one
regiment Of cavalry. with 500 horses. 80
Krupp guns and II mitrailleuses.
1t is stated that before leaving Alexandria
Arabiappropriated So, 900 from the Custom
House.
The commander of the Iris has sent n
peremtory message ordering the Egyptian
men-Ot-war not to leave Suez until be has
received instructions. 1t is stated that this
order has been issued because the Egyptian
commander intended to take his vessel
through the canal Captains are no longer
cautioned before entering the canal but MI
vessels are thoroughly searched before pro-
ceedng.
The fire in Alexandria continues. and the
aspect OF the town is understandable. II re-
minds the spectator Of Pompeii. Whole
families of Europeans have disappeared,
1t is believed they were thrown into the
flames

THE ARTHUR wing of the republican
party, to whose support Gen. Malone has
promised to bring Virginia, doesn't seem to
be particularly attractive to the men who
were induced to vote for the General on the
debt question, and who really believed hin,
when he said he was good and true demo
crat. The Tribune of Pittsylvania county
says: 1T is very gratifying to learn that SC
many of our readjuster friends in ditlercn,
portions Of this county, have expressed
themselves done with the Malone party
and given assurances that they are ready
and will again cooperate with thcr. old
friends in the Democratic fold.n j.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR, who, obtained his

he hadn't moral courage to reprieve long
enough to allow a commission ofscientists 10
examine and report upon his case, in the
execution Of the terms Of the bargain he
has made with General Malone, by which
the latter has promised to secure him the
vote of Virginia in the next national rcpub-
litan convention, has commanded the re-
publicans OF this State to vote for Captain
Wise for Congressman -at-large; for the man
who little more than year ago said
The white Republican in Virginia does
not want any accession to the ranks Of his
party. Triumph is the last thought of his
mind. The place is his whole object, mar
tyrdom soothcd by reward, is the whole
philosophy of his politics. The moment
his party becomes large enough to win Il
victory, his chances of reward will be dimin-
ished and he will loose all interest in the
matter. He does not wish the Re-
publican party to conciliate, to recruit or
augment its following. His is aclosc corpo-
ration, with just enough Offices to supply lis
members. Compared with that pleasant ar
rangement, which is preserved by the past
policy of sectional bitterness National fra
ternity, National prosperity, aye, the tr-
umph Of the National Republican party is
nothing whatever to him."
Will they obey the command? If they do
they will prove to the world that they are
no better than Capt. Wise says they are
