Ticknor & Fields announce Alexander Smith’s new poem, “Edwin of Dcira,” which wc find well spoken of by the English critics. Petersons have done ex tremely well with Dickons’ “Great Expectations,’’ a story which, but for its imperfect denouement, would rank as Us author’s chef d'antvre. Tho Petersons have a new story, by Mrs. South worth, neurly ready. She is popular with the great mass ol’ common-place renders, and, by them, the book will be welcomed. Who has ever given a second perusal to one of Mrs. South worth’s novels? Messrs. Harper have been fortunate with thoiTlatost works. Dr. Chaiilu's Gorilla book, Davis’ Carthago, Lamont's Seasons with the Sea-horses, and Anthony Trollope’s capital novel, “Frumloy Parsonage.” Mr. Trollope, by the way. is now in this country, we understand. As lie holds a high situation in tho English post-office department, it is probable hois here on business. The Harpers promise a new book of African travel, by Charles John Anderson, author of “Lake Ngnmi another by the late Ida Pfeiffer, with portrait and memoir; and with Tenniel’a illustrations. Shirley Brooks’ novel, “The Silver Cord”— ollc of the best sustained ro mances. of real life, written for a long time. The Harpers have sent us a batch of new publi cations; through J. 15. LippincuttA Co., of this city. The first is “Tho House on tho Moor,” by the fair author of “ Margaret Maitland,” “ The Laird of Nalaw.” and several other works of fiction— this lady, who is some seven years younger than Miss Mulock, nearly equals her in popularity in England, and. being a Scottish lasso, has even mere admirers “across the border,” In local coloring, which includes country life and dialect,The House on the Moor” reminds U 3 of that wonderful story, “ Adam Bede.” The characters arc few, but well brought out. Susan Scarsdalc. who may be con sidered the heroine, is one of the most natural young women wc ever met in print. Sir John Armitage, the faded beau, who is tricked at lust into murriugc with a coquette, strongly contrasts with a true hearted soldier. retired from the Indian service, and Sergeant Kennedy is just Farquhar's Sergeant Kite in modern uniform, The leading personage is Horace Scarsdalc, a young man of ill-directed abili ty, who narrowly escaped being a parricide. The weak point in the story is the pivot on which it all turns—namely, a father’s discontent at a large for tune which he expected being left to his sou, who docs not succeed to it until tho old man dies. But “The House on the Moor” is a very attrac tive romance, and wo recommend it, therefore. “Six Lectures on the Chemical History of a Candle.” with a lecture on Platinum—this lost ex plaining the process and principles upon which Mr. Devillc, of Paris, is able to fuse fifty to sixty pounds of platinum without delay or expense—a vast im provement upon Dr. 'Wollaston’s once noted melting a few grains of the metal in a thimble. The Lec tures were delivered, during tho Christmas Holi days of 1360-61. to a juvenile audience at the Koyal Institution of Great Britain, in which Mr. Faraday occupies the position once held by Dary. The che mical history and mystery of a candle, here given, comes under the general term of Philosophy ill Sport made Science in earnest, and a thoroughly good book this is. au2o-6t* "What next ? “Life and Adventure in the South Pacific ; by u Moving Printer.” In fact, two young men of an erratic temperament, shipped at New Bedford, in a vessel destined for whale fishing, and have given an account of the main incidents of their five years’ voyaging, which took them to a variety of places, which they graphically describe—mainly, but not exclusively, in tho South Pacific, inas much as they go as far north as Japan and China. IVe must say that a better nccount of whale fishing has not come under The engra vings. about forty, materially assist the reader— they arc object-lessons. Lastly, comes a now Latin Grammar, by George W. Collard, of the Brooklyn Collegiate and Poly technic Institute. lie has prepared it ns an intro duction and accompaniment to McClintock’s well known “First Book in Latin;” and is entitled “Latin Accidence and Primary Lesson-Book; containing a full exhibition of iho forme of word 3, and first lessons in Beading.” It really is a very simple and intelligible Latin Grammar, with a series of Latin Lessons, (including a system of pronuncia tion,) and a Vocabulary, which saves the expense and trouble and burden of a Dictionary. This will be a desirable book to commence teaching Latin with.

Mr. Callender, Newspaper Agent, South Third, sends us the Illustrated London News and tlie Illustrated News of the World, of August 17. The former of these, besides American war- engravings, commences a line series of tho Quays of Paris, and the latter, in consequence of tho im mense demand for the full-length portrait of Queen Victoria (which we noticed a few days ago), has re issued it as its portrait-supplement for the week. BAML. ABTHUR, A. M. SATURDAY, AUGUST SI, 1861. New Publications. New Music. Leo and Walker have just published a capital lyric, written by Mr. D. Bruinnrd Williamson, of Philadelphia, which has been “ wedded to immor tal music'-' by Mr. Geo. W. Ilewitt. As the poetry, which is copyright, is better than nine-tenths of what Patriotism has invoked, we take leave to give it hero: THE BANNER OF TILE SEA.

[Correspondence of the Press.] Norrzstown, August 23, IS6I. There has been so much censure cast upon the Fourth Regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, on ac» count of their leaving the army the next day after the expiration of their term of service, and only a few hours before the battle of Bull Bun, (although the men of that regiment knew nothing of the coining battle), that I feel desirous that the men irho were willing to remain for the length of time asked for by Gen. McDowell should have due credit for their valor and patriotism. When Col. Hartranft received the order from Gen. McDowell, in Which he complimented the regiment on the im portant services rendered by it, and in which he discharged it from further service, but requested that they would stay two weeks longer, Col. Hart ranft had a copy iof the order sent to each of the captains of the regiment, with a request that it should be read to the companies, and the decision of the men in relation to it be reported. For reasons not known to us some of the captains, it is said, did not read the order to their- companies, or, at least, did not test them in regard to a longer stay, but reported none willing. Captain Snyder, whose company was from Centre county, reported six men as willing. Captain Walter H. Cooke, Company K, of Norristown, also read the order, and asked those who were willing to comply with Gen. Mo Dowell’s request to advance in front of the line. The following officers and men at once responded ‘ First Lieutenant, H. K. Weand; Orderly Sergeant, Daniel M. Yost; Sergeant, Joseph K. Corson; Corporal, Wm. Potts; privates, James Pierce and Jos. Johnson. When the regiment left for Alex* andria two membersfrom Captain Taylor’s company remained on the field and witnessed the battle. So it appears that Col. Hartranft, Captain Cooka and six men, Captain Snyder and six men, and two from Captain Taylor’s company, were willing to go forward without any reference to having gone i through their whole term of service and been dis charged. Now, as we are intimately acquainted with many of the men of the Fourth Regiment, and know that scores of those who did not offer to continue in service are men of the most undoubted courage and patriotism, it would be interesting to know the cause of so singular a result. Enquirer: When '< Mayor Bebeet, of Washington, was admitted to Fort Lafayette, his hair and whiskers were of raven hue. Since then they have faded gradually, and are now almost white.

Religious intelligence. Difference between Preaching and Lec- ?. turing. The modern lesture-room bus drawn laigelyupon the clitics! profession; so much so, that a good lccturoi nnd good preacher have almost become synonymous. Still. It was reserved for a very re cent da is to demonstrate, orally and ocularly, that a lecture and a sermon arc one and tho same thing. As oult-ycaders will remember, on tho 7tk of last FobruaiV tho Rev. Henry Ward Beecher delivored a lcctui4.at Concert Hall, in this city, selecting for his subjeot the euphonious title of “Yea, yea; nay, nay. : '(The lecture was considered a good one; it “drew ” a good house, and Mr. B. was paid a good price for delivering it. The New Y'orK Independent of this week pub lishes the aforesaid lecture, almost verbatim, under the following head : SERMONS BY lIKNUV WAltn ItKEOIIRn. Entered according to Act of Congress , in the \ year 1860. \ [TEXT.] “But let your communication be Yea, yea; nay, nay ; for ivhnttioever U more than this cvinvth of crib”—Matt, v., 37. A foot-note informs us that the “sermon” was preached at Plymouth. Brooklyn, January 20,1301, eighteen days before its delivery in Philadelphia as a lecture, According to Mr. Bccchor’s standard, difference botnroon a sermon and a leclurc consists altogether in the length of the text. If this is tfot conclusive, the question whether tile jwpulor of Plymouth Church uniformly preaches itaihe platform, or lectures in the pulpit, is an opcnlcnc. But, as this decision would neces sarily invdve a discussion foreign to our sphere, wc leave i|for other hands,merely remarking, in con clusion, that Mr. Beecher’s alleged “heterodoxy” is finding critics very near homo. In tlie number of the Independent nlready referred to. a paragraph of Mr, Beecher's, defining “ his position touching the system of Christian Truth," is respectfully bui very keenly reviewed by the editor. Per conse quence, cither Mr. B. is nut a controlling spirit in that paper, or else the Independent is “ahouse divided against itself. 7 ’ The President's Proclamation. —Most of the secular papers in the North have published tho pro clamation of President Lincoln, naming tho last Thursday of September as a day of fasting and prayer for our country, and nearly nil tho religious prints have inserted it with approving comments. The Christian Chronicle hopes that uniformity will prevail in the duo observance of the day, and suggests ‘'• that the churches in any particular sec tion of the city should meet together, nt least a pint of the day,” which, it is believed, would add interest to the meetings, and also tend to unite dif ferent churches moro closely together. Tho Presbyterian devotes a column editorial to the some subject, from which we extract the following: “We hear again tho voice of our honored President, calling the nation to prayer. * * * The day seems far off. Who knows what may transpire before that day of prayer arrives? It may be, that while the hearts of our people refuse to wait for the day, and turn with their united sup plications to the throne of grace, the Lord may grant full success to the arms of our Government, and give us cause to change the expected day of fasting into a day of joyful thanksgiving and praise. 11 If men are ever disposed to pray, it is when deep ailliction makes them feel that the hand of God is on them. We now feel this throughout tho land. The invitation to prayer comes through the Govern ment. It seems like the voice of God. It comes with peculiar emphasis. Every circumstance that could add weight and urgency to the call contributes to enforce it. The two houses depart so far from their usual course, that, instead of transmitting their joint resolution to the President by their or dinary messengers, they appoint a joint committee to wait on the President in person, and present, in that impressive way, the request embodied in their resolution. This was a solemn and significant na tional act. Let all the people accept axd value it as such, and respond to it by carrying out the reso lution in unanimous supplication to the Lord for his gracious approbation and aid. llow worthy a Chris tian Government, and a Christian people 1” Thinning Out.—Tho clergymen occupying pul pits in Philadelphia, who at the commencement of the war were embarrassed by their Southern sym pathies, like summer birds in autumn, arc one by one taking their departure for the “ Sunny South.” The Baptist Churches, in this city, have already lost three from this cause, Roy. Messrs. Winston, Cuthbert. and Dr. Brantley, tho latter having bade his charge farewell a weok ago. Rev. John Ley. burn, formerly of the Presbyterian, low also re turned to the bosom of his family somewhere on 1! YTrgipin's saerod soil. ’ ’ These reverend gentlemen have departed, we hope, in peace. Whether they have gone to “ where tho wicked cease from troubling,” is an other mnttcr. Patriotic Religious Journal.—Tho Christian Intelligencer, organ of the Reformed Butch Church of North America, while it caters to the re ligious taste of its readers, is no less liberal with its appeals to their patriotism. The stars and stripes float from its mast-head—if a newspaper may bo said to possess any such » nautical tippendago— with a two-line quotation from the Star-Spangled Banner printed under it, and the following lines: For riglil is right, since God is God, And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin. Its news column is embellished with a cut of a spread eagle protecting tho national flag, inscribed underneath with the following quotation from Jef ferson : “ The preservation of tho General Government, in its whole constitutional v gor, is the sheet anchor of our pease at home and safety abroad.” Contradictory Statements About the Health of the Poice- — A correspondent of one of OUT American exchanges writes: “Tho Pope is ill. He has not only a chronic affection of the legs, which are swollen and covered with sores, hut he has a disease of the heart, which may carry him off at any moment. Dr. Capi gives it as his opinion that he cannot live three months.” On the other hand, a correspondent of the London Catholic Regis ter, writing from Rome, says : “ Here in Rome we arc in perfect quiet. The Pope is oxtremely well; and if it is true, as some say, not without some foundation, that Napoleon and Rieasoli have taken tho determination to defer the solution of the Roman question till the death of tho Pope, I can say they will have a long time to wait, in spite of the reports of evil portent of the press, which never ceases to spread the worst news with regard to the Pope’s health.” Order of Mercy to be Established in Philadelphia.—“OnWednesday, tho 21st inst.," says tho Boston Pilot, “ ten of the Sisters of Mercy, accompanied by the Mother SuperiOT, left the flourishing Convent in Manchester, for the purpose of establishing a house of their Order in Philadel phia. Rev. Mother Xavier Warde intends to re main with the new Institute three months. “ We wishher well-known zeal and unceasing ex ertions in promoting the glory of God, by providing the solid foundation of religious instruction, as well as superior secular education for youth, may be as successful in that locality as they have been in Man chester, where they shall ever he highly esti mated.” Bet. Dn. FniEß, op Baltimore, of Young* Men’s-Christian - Association - Committee memory, has written a letter to the Army Committee of the Hew York Young Men’s Christian Association, commending their efforts in behalf of the suffering soldiers, and enclosing fire dollars towards that object; though, he says, “I am convinced that the North and the South are hopelessly dissev ered.” Ministers’ Sons in the War.—The Rev. Dr. Gillette, of New York, formerly pastor of the Eleventh Baptist Church in this city, has a SOD among the prisoners taken by the rebels at the battle of Bull Run. Rev. Messrs. Milne, of Al* den, and S. M. Stimson, of Batavia, New York, had each a son killed in that engagement. A Methodist Camp Meeting in Ireland.— During the present summer the Wesleyan Metho. dists in Ireland have tried the experiment of a camp-meeting after the American Methodist style. From the description by a visitor, in tho Irish Evangelist, the meeting was a success. It lasted fourteen days. The Rev. D. B. Chenet, of San Francisco, for merly of this city, bis friends will be glad to learn, has sufficiently recovered from his recent illness to resume his pulpit, and the editorial charge of his paper, the Evangel. Liberality op the New Sultan. Two Christians have been placed at the head of im portant services at Constantinople, by the new Sultan, one, Franco Ponssa Effendi, and the other, Palatis Musurus, brother of the Ottoman Ambassar dor at London. Effects of the War upon Spiritualism.—The money pressure produced by the war has already mndo hjvvec among the papers published in the in terest of Spiritualism, of which but two have been left in existence, The Herald of Progress , and the Banner of Light. The Rev. Samvel Jackson, brother of Rev. Thomas Jackson, and one of the oldest and most eminent Methodist preachers in England, died on the 4th instant, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. Church Growth in Time op War. —A Methodist exchange says: “During the Revolutionary war_the Methodist church grew in the storm. Her ministers still la bored, and, although hunted and _ persecuted, managed to have oonverts and additions to the Church. Just before the war. there were seven teen preachers and two thousand and seventy three members. At the close, there were forty throe preachers and fourteen thousand members.” Jewish Patriotism.' —In ono of the petitions to the Hungarian Diet, respecting Jewish emanci pation, it was stated that there were twenty-five thousand Hebrews in the national army, which, in 1848 and 1849, defended the country against the attacks of Austria. —Educatore Israelita. “Essays and Reviews.”—Formal proceedings have been taken in the Gvurb of Aiehcs against Dr. Williams, by the Bishop of Salisbury. Tho offence is tho authorship of thoarticlo “Bunsen's Biblical Researches," by which, it is alleged, the Old Tes tament prophecies have been fronted with con tempt, and tho Soriptnreß in general, “depraved,” Names.—Of the 10,464 American and British ministers whose names appear in The Presbyterian Historical Almanac 'for 1861, 154 are Smiths, 705 Wilsons, 99 Browns, 91 Johnsons, 35 Campbells, 79 Thompsons, 74 Reeds, 70 Andersons, 67 Stewarts, 65 Clarks, elc. Rf.v. Alexander Shand, for many years in connection with the Associate Reformed Church, afterwards a member of tlie O. S.

On Thursday, a festival, for Iho bonofit of the sick and wounded of tho gallant Sixty-ninth Regi ment, was held at Jones' Woods, New York. Upwards of fifty thousand tickets wore sold, and everything passed off in the most pleasant manner. Captain (now Col.) Meagher delivered the princi pal oration, extracts from which we print below : I ask no Irishman to do that wliich I mysolf am not prepared to do. [Cheers.] My heart, my arm, my life, is pledged to the national cause, and to the Ihsl it will be my highest [/rule, Jiri X cuilCCivC it tO bo iny holiest duty and obligation, to share its for tunes.

(Loud cheers.] The party disappears in the presence of the nation— J applause]—and as the Chief Magistrate, duly vketed and duly sworn, is bound to praloot and administer the national property for the benefit of the cation, so should every citizen concur with him iu loyal and patriotic action, discarding the mean persuasions and maxims of the local poli ticians—(hear, hear, hear] —and substituting the national interests, the national effi ciency. :tbe national honor, for the selfish ness, the huckstering, or the vengeance of a party. [EuthusiastiCiCheering.] To me, at all events, the potency of the National Government, the honor and glory of the national flag, are of infinitely higher v#due than tho Regency of Albany, the Tammany Wigwam.

[Shouts and cheering.] A revolu tion that has the flattery and patronage of an aristocracy to which for generations Ireland has ascribed her social wretchedness nnd political dis orders, and which has scoffed at and scandalized her before the world, can surely never have the heart and arm of any Irishman who has learned the history of the Stars and Stripes—[hear, hear, hear] —valued the blessings and protection they insured, and who, in the frustration of the schome of this incorrigible aristocracy, its chastisement and downfall, foresees a healthier and Stronger life for England and tho liberty of Ireland.

The town only sent two companies of three-months volunteers, who returned on August 12: Jacksonville, 111., Aug. 20, 1881. I suppose has given yon the news about the dinner to our returned volunteers, on Wednesday. All went off finely. Captain Woods left last night, with a company of 100 men, raised since his return. B. Lewis left on yesterday, with a fine company of cavalry, 100 strong. Captain Smith leaves to-night, with the balance of his company, some 40 or 50 having gone last week. Captain Ebzarth leaves on Thursday, with anothor company of infantry. Other compa nies aro being raised m the county. Governor Yates has issued a proclamation, say ing that- he Will receive all companies or regiments that may offer for the noxt twenty days- The prairies are truly on fire. We will soon have 50,000 men in tho field, and (he only regret is that we did not hare them sooner. Yours, Ac. * DnAFTixc Soldiers.—Some idle rumors have gained currenoy in this city that the Governor was about resorting to drafting men to fill the army, and in order to cheek the story before it reaches the country, and scares some old ladies in pantaloons into “ conniption fits,” we say at onee that there is no truth whatever in the report. Pennsylvania to day is coming up to the work 'manfully, and those who have witnessed the outpouring of hor sons du ring the last twenty-four hours in this city, alone will agree with us that the day for drafting is still distant. Wo could raise at least 20,000 more with out any such resort.— Harrisburg Patriot ana. Union. The Department of San Francisco. The official news from the department of the Pacific, received by tho last mail, records the concentration in tho city of San Francisco of over 1,500 regulars. The forts in tho harbor are strongly garrisoned, and there is quite a. strong force at Benioia bar lacta- TWO CENTS. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. TBE MONEY MARKET, Phigadeephia, August 30,1861, We investment market for stocks is quiet and unchnuged, City sixes- selling at 94 and 8" for the now and old issues respectively, State fives at 70, Pennsylvania Eailread-shares and-bonds, and Har risburg, Minehill. Lehigh Valley, and other ap proved railroad securities at previous quotations. Beadingißnilroad shares sell at IT 56-109, but in this as in all other securities in the speculation market ther3 is little or no movement. Bank slock are quiet and- passongcr railway shares neglected. The money market remain,Tin the same-inert con dition to which we have frequently referred. The holders of capital are disposed to await the result of more active operations in the field before putting out money on any long paper or even for the usual bank time. Hence call loans are so cheap and plentiful. We learn that the Buffalo Savings Bank has sub scribed for 5104.000 of the United States 7 3-10 per cent, treasury notes. The Chicago Tribune says: t! Compared with the week previous, there is an increase on the re ceipts of flour of 7,01)0 barrels, 200,000-bushels of wheat, and 250,000 B bushel3-of- corn; but thereds a decrease in the shipments of wheat and corn equal to about 600.000 bushels, in consequence of the scarcity of Te-rods. The entire receipt of grain, including flour, during the week, amounts to 2.294,533 bushels— which is the largest amount of grain over before re ceived within a week in this city. The following t«hle shows the receipts of leading, articles from the Ist of January to August 24, for three years: 1861. 1830. 1859.

The New York World says: 11 It seems that the loss of $7,090,000 on bank note currency in Illinois, and untold millions from high rates of domestic oxehange. have failed to rouse the Viestern against this banking blight upon their coumieroß. Chicago permits its citizens to he done by Canada bank bills-at dis counts of one and a half to three per cent., and St. Louis seoins quite content to lose seven per cent, in exchange for the support of bankers, and Milwau kee quotes four and a half per cent., apparently grateful it is no worse. Can nothing induce West ern people to examine this banking question? There is no need for any speculations or theories on the subject. The Louisiana banking laws have beenjin practical operation in New Orleans since 1850. They arc correct in principle, and more profitable in practice than any banking, in the country, and it is the only system which can place the commerce of the West on a sound and profit able basis. The Illinois blinking principle is wrong, anti its results are of course evil, in accordance with the natural;, inevitable law that like produces like.” The Missouri Democrat says: lt The most noticeable feature of the money mar ket to-day was the decline of exchange and the up ward tendency of Missouri money. The obvious reason of this change' is that the large increase of Eastern sight drafts paid the banks and saving in stitutions by the Government has made the supply of exchange largely in excess of the demand; and ns coin is becoming very plenty for all business pur poses, exchange can be bought for specie at par, k premium. The quotation in the market to-day for exchange was generally 7. per cent, premium above Missouri money, but there is no demand, and no thing but the caprice of bankers to keep it up, un less it is that there is no ‘hope for bankablofunds.’ that it never will return to a specie basis. There is some ground for this apprehension, and the people might as well make up their minds to see it gradually sink in discredit, until confidence is entirely destroyed, and down it will go forever. The great abundance of specie now being disbursed in this city by the Government must make that com modity so plenty that there will not be the slightest use for the banks withholding longer specie resump- • tion. But we have no idea that they will resume as long as they con keep their money in circulation without. They have got in the habit of speculating in their own paper, and by a combination among themselves, and the support of the eighty four merchants who constitutes the city banks' directory, and are monopolizing the favors whiun UiG 1/nnk, can bestow, they keep down public indignation against the course of the banks to some extent, and give the whole swindling banking business of this city an air of respectability. This being the case, what recourse have outsiders? No matter how much they may suffer, and do suffer in their busi ness daily by such action. This all may bo fine sport for the banks and bank directors, who get their exchange at a small premium,, but it is death to the balance of the community,” Negotiations are afoot among the stock and bond holders of the Galena and Chicago, to provide for the first mortgage bonds maturing next year. The principal holders have signified their willingness to take a new sheet of coupons for twenty years. The plan of the president, who is now in this city, is to create a sinking fund and interest account on a sli ding scale, which shall be sufficient to extinguish the entire debt of the company in twenty years. According to his schedule, the total charge in 1882, for the sinking fund and interest, will be 8319,215, and gradually reducing each year; the last pay ment of $117,000 in February, 1882, wipes out the entire bonded debt of the concern. The opinion of the oldest directors of the company is, that $BOO,OOO is sufficient to keep the line in good order, and it is upon this calculation that the plan is drawn up, which, in a word, contemplates the entire adjust ment of tho bonded debt, and its extinction, in twenty years, and, at the same time, admitting of a fair division of profits to the stockholders. The bonded debt, which commands nearly par in the market, is as follows: First mortgage six per cent.. Second mortgage six per cent The following is the amount of coal shipped over the Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Railroad, for the week ending W eduesday, August 28,1881, and since January 1,1861: Week.

The bonds are firmly held, and aro mostly higher, with a good demand. There is great firmness to-day in tho bonds of the Government, with a strong demand for all de scriptions. The sixes of 1881 are wanted at 88a 88], with saleß of the coupon issue at the latter price. The two-year notes are in active request at 97]a98. The five per cents, sold largely at 781, and that is hid for more. The twelve per cents, are firm at 101. The rea son that theso notes, bearing 12 per cent, interest, are not quoted at more than 1 per cent, premium, is that the accrued interest is remitted to the seller, and consequently, having only five months to run, yield the buyer but 7 per cent, en his investment. They were issued in January last. The list of Southern bonds shows a decided im provement. North Carolinas sold at 62, but wore afterwards quoted at 60]a61. Tennesscos, after rising to 433, closed at 43i. Missouris opened at 4l j, and leave off at 41]a41 j. We notice a further extreme advance in New York State sevens. For the issue of 1870,107 is bid, with none on tbo market. The sixes range from par to 102. The closing sales of New York Central were at 72|. which is a reduction of laj per cent, from the price of last evening. There is no special cause for the heaviness, beyond the extreme dullness, which extends throughout the list. Some decided de velopments on the Potomac would give direction to prices. The fluctuations scarcely exceed iui per cent, from day to day. The money market is becoming dull again, and call loans are very easy at 5 per cent. The activity noticeable last week has somewhat subsided. Prime paper is still in small supply, and readily finds buy ers at 5a7 per cent. Philadelphia Stock Exchange Sales, August 30,1861.
