seturion 'in 1'arln. with me oblect of bringing
a boat a nniflcatlvecurrehcy among the nations
of Uie world, has adopted luo live franc piece as
tbe unit of gold coins.
It Is understood that the United States Gov
rnment, under this arrangement, will reduoe
the value of tbe gold dollar to that ot the five
frano piece, and that the French Government
will coin pieces of twenty-five francs, which
will then be of the mime value as the United
Htates live dollar gold piece, while England, by
a slight reduction in the value of the sovereign,
Will bring It down to the same standard.
The English members of the conference were
very loth to agree-to tbls arrangement, which
will virtually make the American dollar the
unit for gold, and tried to eflect a compromise
ppon the ten frano piece, Thls.bowever, failed:
and now that the tnrce principal commercial
nations of tbe world arc nereed upon a standard,
It is probable tnat it will not be long berore
most of tbe others will unite with them.
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
Condition of the London 'Chans Sym
pathy with the Farls Bourse 1'ha
Influx ot uold.
From the London Times (cttff article), July .-
Consols continue to lull, while the Influx o"
gold to the Hank and the brilliant weather for
the crops are uninterrupted. The market oil
Halorday opened without recovery from the
decline of the previous days, and a further re
duction of one-quarter was ultimately esta
blished. Sympathy with me inactivity and
heaviness of iho Paris Bourse seems the only
apparent cauxe of the movement, although the
state of prices at 'Paris is partly owing to the
anticipation or a new loan of 0,000,000 or
10,000,000 sterling an operation that could
have no material iulluouce on this slda Sup
posing the public to be actuated at present by
any definite view. It can only be conjeotured
that they are holding back under the Impres
sion that Bome disasters, polli leal or otherwise,
moat soon occur of sufficient magnitude
to torn the bullion tide, and create a
general demand for money. So long as
gold continues to pour in It must
lead to investments In securities or swell the
amount of notes lying Idle In the Mils of the
'various hanks. In the former cise there must
be a direct action upon the prices of stocks; In
the latter the rate o( discount must be further
lowered, and an ludlreot luflueuce wilt be excr
eted, since the temptation to buy slocks that
pay Irom three to Ave per cent, will bo propor
lionably increased as discount goes down to
two or one and a half per cent. It Is idle to
speak of sales of stocks by the pnbllo lu tbe
sense of their creating an alteration in the ex
isting prospects. If a man sells 1000 of con
sols, something must be done with tne proceeds.
Tbey must either be lodged at bis banker's or
must be paid to some other man, who will then
in turn nave to decide what he Is to do with
them. Nothing, therefore, cau prevent a rise In
tbe funds on the one hand, or a Nil in the dis
count market on tbe other; and tbe question Is
how far tbe publlo will permit tne litter to pro
ceed before tbe rate will have reached a point
sufficiently low to promote a return of courage
on their part sullio ent to Induce them to hold
stocks of any kind.
Of course any persons who fnncythey see a
strong probability ot war, a bad harvest, a
mania for foreign loans or speculations, or any
other calamity that in the course of six or
twelve months may entirely change the present
position and disappoint all existing hopes, will
pursue a perfectly rational course in submitting
to a temporary loss of interest in order that
they may have all their capital in hand at the
critical moment; but It may be doubted If Buch
apprehensions really prevail to a serious extent.
It would be some time before even the most
advene Influences could now break down the
accumulations In the. banks of England and
France; and meanwhile the loss of Interest by
those who wait for them would, perhaps ba
equal to the percentage saved. It. may be hooe'i,
therefore, that the public will weigh every point
of the subject, ro that they may act t all events
from clear conceptions and not from a blind
distrust, which Is no less discreditable than the
madness of ltt5. It is lamentable that the prin
ciples of economical science bave made so little
progress In this country that, while tbe ope
rative classes are endeavoring at every cost to
cancel even the primary rigbw of free labor,
tbe capitalist classes have no sense to steer
between the wildest excesses of prodigality and
the most abject conditions ot miserly dis
quietude. Th Bank of France.

French Review of the Position of the
Bank of England Money Crisis Tne
Banks of Scotland and France.
' Farts (June 25) Correspondence London Times.
A work of more thun five hundred pages,
from tbe pen of M. Wolowskl, the well-known
economist, has just appeared. The subjects are
the Bank of England and the banks of Scot
land, and they are treated In a manner which
proves the writer to be thoroughly acquainted
with all the details concerning these lnstltu-
The volume consists of five parts the first,
on the bank and the suspension, of cash pay
ments (1707-1810); the second, on the financial
crisis of 1806 In England, and which originally
appeared in the lievue d:s Veux Monties In
August last year, under the title V.mdredl
JJoir." The third part contains the letter of M.
Michel Chevalier, whose views on banks differ
so widely from those of the writer, and M.
Wolowskl's answer thereto; bis letters to the
Avenir Commercial and to the Kconomiste Fran
eaise, with M. Duval's (.the editor of the Eaono
mixte) replies; the fourth, an essay on the Bank
of France and paper currency, written in 1805;
and tbe fifth on Scotch banks. The last part is
full of Information hitherto llttlo known In this
eountiy. "Men of business lu Eugland," ob
serves the writer, "act much, speak little, and
write less;" and tbe manager of one of the most
ancient and principal bunks of Edinburgh, In
reply to Inquiries addressed to him, said he was
sorry to say that there Is no good work on
Scotch banks. In that part which treats of the
Bank of England no essential fact appears to be
forgotten, and the explanations respecting the
controversy between those who defend and
those who attack It omit nothing that is useful
to know on the working of that great institu
tion, on the act of 3814, and on the present situ
ation of the question of banks and of credit In
England.
hi. Wolowskl says: The relation between
the dactilnea adopted by oar neighbors and the
dlscusi-lons which the Bank of Franco have
given rise to among us are treated In a distinct
chapter. Finally, I have examined that most
useful Institution, end one which Is geuerslly
so 111 understood tbe banks of Scotland. I
trust that the documents hitherto lnedlted,
upon which I rely, will rectify certain Ideas too
readily accepted on thlsmalter.and that people
will cease to attribute to the admirable me
cbaclKiu of tbe batiks of Scotland an erroneous
signification. Far from furnishing arguments
to those who pretend to find In unrestricted
Issue the panacea of credit, the Scotch banks,
seriously studied, show how frail and limited
la the action of that Instrument In comparison
with the force derived from the agglomeration
and dlstilbutlon of capital.
On the whole, In all that relates to tbe char
acter and working of the Bank of England, the
Bank of France, and especially the Scotch
banks, which are Imperfectly understood bere,
M. Wolowskl's book will be read with advan
tage by those who are interested In the era. e

MORMON ISM.
Brlgham Young;, Jr., In New York A
Visit to Ills Hotel Ills Wives, and
What They Think of the Institution
of Polygamy.
A few days ago the announcement of the
arrival ol Brlgham Young, Jr., the President of
tbe Mormon Church, and suite, was announced
In the dally papers. He arrived here in the
steamship Scotia, from England, having con
cluded a tour In Europe. It was soon rumored
that tbe suite consisted of that gentleman's
train of wives and tbe St. Nicholas Hotel,
where they were stopping, was the oynosure of
all the eyes that the lair promenaders of Broad
way could bring to boar on it. The general
opinion of the "dear creatures" was wonder as
to bow the many Mesdames Young could bear
thtir pitiable existence, mingled with the belief
that the windows were barred to prevent their
escaping. But while this was the case with the
majority, the minority, which is sometimes In
the right, knew that no ladies could be relalued
lorclbly In a house of the prominence and char
acter of the St. Nicholas. A lew of these, and
they were among the most distinguished lu tne
city, called at the. hotel, and sout up their cards
to "the ladies of the suite of Brlgtiam Young.
Jr." Only one lady was at home, aud she had
Just come In from the pleasant occupation of
suopping, having bad, aud alas! lost a Une op
portunity of muKlng iter escape. She was an
nounced to the ladles, by her servant, as Mrs.
Young (whether No. 8, 0, or 10 was not stated).
The ladles exchanged the compliments of tbe
day; asked about Purls, from which city the
lady had Just come, about her voyage, about
the fashions, about hotel life, and aouut the
proposed trip across the plains; about Indian
depredations, aud finally about the main sud
ject of their visit, i. e., Mormon women, their
domestic Hie, their possible or actual happiness.
Tbey did not wonder, tbey said, that men liked
polygamy. In fact, most of them had lUlle
grave suspicious of the polygamlo proclivities
on thn part of tbe gentlemen ot their own
families aud households that, from its fre
quency, had come to be loosed on as a matter
of course. But did she really believe It possible
for a woman to content herself, and be huppy,
with a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or sixtieth
Bhare of ber busbuud's affections, with the
prospect of probable decrease in the slue of the
libs 16
Mrs. Young, who is a slight, graceful, ladylike
matron of about thirty, said, with an uncon
scious naivete, that the leared she might not be
Impartial enough to satisfy the claims of Justice
in the matter; that she was so thorouguly
wedded to her husband In common with his
other wives thut his fuilhs, and hopes, and In
terests were hers. "But," said she, "let us go
and see the babies and lalkover it there." Lead
ing the way to her rooms, ber guests followed,
and were all met at the door by "the babies,"
two In number one in the nurse's arms, but
still able to walk, the other two years and a half
old and very beautiful, an embryo belle in
deed, a diminutive fairy queen dressod In white
and rose-colored lawn, with flesh-colored kid
slippers. Surrounded by ber "Jewels," this
Mormon Cornelia told of the houor conferred
on her In being chosen one of the wives of a
sanctified man, in being tbe mother of sons of
promise, daughters beautiful In the faith aud
possible mothers of fuluresousof promise. She
Bpoke of ber husband's other wives as sisters
aud co-helpers, and their children she regarded
as much bers as ber own. She seemed the re
production of a Jewish Idea womanly, wlfoly,
maternal, having children for a purpose to
people the city of God. It reali.ed the char
acter almost wholly unknown among Ameri
can women, of a wile as ahelpmate, and seemed
as beroic and beautiful as it is unusual.
After a while Mr. Young entered, aud was in
troduced to the ladles by bis wife, not with.
standing that he-might take a lanoyloone or
au oi meni, ana inuuoe mem to snare me
luxury of his household. The conversation
now became general. Other gentlemen arrived,
with their reports of purchases In the fine gro
cery and dry goods line, together with descrip
tions oi me pianos, carriages, ana sewing
machines they had puichased to be shipped to
their wives in Ulau.
A charming little lea was served up in one of

very large windows extending almost the entire

of violent measures havir been resorted to
either in effecting an entrance to the office or to
tbe vault, which occupies a position in tbe
southwest corner. The fact that a robbery
should bave been perpetrated in such an ex

A VISIT TO BRIDGET DURGAN.
Ilcr Demeanor In Prison Appearance of
the Prisoner Her Kxpsetcd Confession
Much It in a I us Untold.
Yesterday we visited the unfortunate Bridget
Durpnn in her cell, in company with ber leal
ing counsel, Mr. Onrned B. Adrain. Petitions
for her pardon have been extensively signed,
but tbe Court of Pardons has decided that the
law shall take its course. The fact was made
known t) her by her counsel, and the only
ell ret that it bad upon ber has been to make her
more nervous tbau usual, and taciuirn in con
versation. On our enterint; her cell she was In conversa
tion with some ladles who, through a feeling of
humanity, had called upon her. Sho seemed to
be very glad to see her counsel, and warmly
shook bunds with him. She is certainly not th?
bideous.looking pemon tbat has bceu repre
sented. Tiue it is, ber forehead la low, and tbe
eyelashes to bang down that it is impossible to
form a correct idea of the expression of the
eyes. The brews are heavy even to a fault, and
the upper part ot the countenance Indicates
weakness of character. The lower part of her
face is anything but disagreeable. There is
almost a continuous placid smile about the
mouth, which in a great degree counteracts the
rcpulsiveness of tbe upper part of the counte
nance. Sitting in her cell, and considering, as
bas been proven on the trial, thore wa a total
absence ol all motive, one can hardly believe
ber to be the perpetrator of tbe horrible crime
of which Bhe ha9 beeu convicted.
Her conversations are rational enough until
some leading fact in connection with the mur
der comes up. when she will break olf suddenly
to some other sublect, or remain entirely silent.
Up to yesterday, she has made no confession of
her guilt. On Thursday she expressed a wish
to Mr. Adrain that he would, on the following
day, send to her the Rev. Mr. Rodgers, the
Roman Catholic pa-tor of Hew Brunswick.
Father Roogers called upon her on Friday at 11
o'clock, and remained with her for nearly an
hour, it was tbe general impression in New
Brunswick yesterday tbat she bad made a full
confession ot the matter; whether nnder the
seal of confession or not was not determined.
Nothing has dropped from Father Rodgers to
indicate that such baa taken place. Whatever
has occurred between her aud Father Rodgers,
and between ber aud Mr. Adraiu, is strictly
private, and neither will communicate any tacts
at present which have come to their knowledge
in conversation with the unfortunate woman.
Previous to ber trial it may be observed that
she was visited in prison by Dr. Coriell, but
since her conviction, although she bas expressed
a desire to see him, he has not come to see her.
Lone previous to her becoming an inmate of
Dr. Coriell's establishment he h"d frequently
attended her In tbe township of Pisoataway for
those attacks ot epilepsy to which she was sub
ject; and it was at the Doctor's request that
sue went to live at his house, as be could more
successfully attend to curing her disease and the
general state of her health. Judgiua by her
appearance, she is a person easily in Huenced and
led away by the advice and dictation ot others.
Her present advisers think it would be prema
ture on ber part to make any statement just
now, and consequently anything she may bave
to say on the subject might only be propagating
slander, without having any legal testimouy to
sustain it, and, therefore, it Is, that various
statements ot uriueet uurcan'8 nave oeen witn
held fiom the public, and which we would not
be warranted in publishing. She will, how
ever, it is supposed, make a clean breast of the
entire matter when tbe proper time arrives, and
by her public confession of her participation in
the awful occurrence, in some degree make
atonement for her crime. When that confession
Is made, however, there will be some important
matter added to the record of this cause celebre.

THE CORIELL MURDER.
Further Developments Bridget Dorgan
Implicates Another Woman and Brings
to Light Additional Particulars of the
Murder.
New Brunswick N. J.. July 13. As was pre
dicted a lew weeks ago, additional light is being
thrown on this mysterious case by the develop
ments of the condemned woman, whose de
meanor at the close of ber trial underwent such
a change as Justified the opinion that she would
become communicative as soon as she realized
tbe terrors of her doom. When asked what
she bus to say why sentence should not be
pronounced, she maintained her usual stub
born reserve, but when she understood It
was the last opportunity offered, she dis
closed l ne name of a certain individual to
her counsel who held out hopes to her
of ultimate deliverance. That name It was not
thought proper to give on ber mere assertion,
In view of tbe fuct that she had before fre
quently prevaricated. Binoe the executlou of
Williams, however, her mind has undergone a
total change, and as she begins to "look o'er
life's narrow verje" en tbe fathomless abyss
tnat awaits her. the weakuess of her nature
asserts ittelf, and she feels unable to boar the
great burden of the dread secret which op
presses ber. She has made some disclosures
within the past few days which Implicate at
least one certaiu woman, and this part of her
story has all the appearance of truth. The name
of this woman was furnished in confidence to
tbe Herald, tbe authorities deeming It unwise
to have it made publlo until the arrest of tbe
Individual Implicated. Ou the day alter the
commission of the murder, this woman left
the locality In a mysterious mauuer, aud
tbe suspicions of District Attorney Her
bert being aroused, he sent detectives to
hunt her up. it is known that Bhe
was for some time in New York city. Bridget
Iiorgan now alleges that this woman aided in
the commission of the murder. She further
adds that Mrs. Coriell was lying upon a louuge
with the right side of ber face up when the first
blow whs struck, and she then retreated to a
back room, where a terrible struggle ensued, in
which Mrs. Coriell succeeded In wrenching tbe
knife from her assailants, and it was In doing
so she received the cats on her hand. An
other knife was then procured by the mur
deress and the bloody work was accomplished,
after which the weapon was thrown into the
fire. Bridget refuses to give any other names
In connection with the affair; but it is known
that tbe woman referred to received deep
scratches on her face on the night of the mur
der, which will make her arrest a matter of less
difficulty.
It may be further stated that the Court of
Pardons were unanimous iu auirming the sen
tence of tbe condemned woman; and the point
that weighed most against ber was tbe reputa
tion sue valued for herself In deliberately con
cocting tbe ruin of Innocent persons, and at the
same lime doggedly refusing to disclose tbe
names of the real accessories, while boasting
she possessed a secret she would not divulge.
Under all tbe circumstances, every statement
Will be received with caution unless supported
by some palpable evidence. Hitherto she has
not manifested much ooucora regarding the
future; ber mind is so engrossed by some one
prevailing Idea that 11 requires an cit'jrt she
oanuot command to divert ii, lo anything else.

amounting in All to nearly a hundred persons,

the party did not move directly for the Rio

mised that they must bave goue by
way of Havana. No details of the ex
pedition bave been learned at headquarters,
and 11 is quite possible that In bis real the de
tective may have been mistaken. If any party
lins left at all, which is still doubted, it bas beeu
under cover of emigration to Rritlsh Honduras,
an emigration which has been started, and in
cludes from fifteen to twenty thousand fortune
seekers. Meantime no pains will be spared by
the military authorities hero and by the com
mander of the line of the Rio Oraude to sup
press any warlike raids upon Mexican territory,
and offenders of that son will be promptly tried
by military commission. The movement has
not, however, in thn commanding general's
opinion, assumed sufficient consistency to war
rant the issuance of an order, or any special
military Interference; and'ns tbe Mexican
fever is subsiding, it is not Uifllkely that the
whole movement will fan through of Its own

ave the effect of reducing the stock of several

Flutter Among Rebel Office Holders

City Scrip Muddle A Severe. Rain
Storm.
New Orlkans. July 14. All parties here,
rudical, conservative, and of all complexions
between, seem to bo lying quietly on their arena
awaiting the action of Congress. Considerable
effort Is now being made ou the part of tbe city
ofticluls to curry favor with Uheridan, who, at
present indications, bids fair to win the race
and become master of tbe situation. All official
filibustering bas ceased, but the fact of havlug
ceased loo late will certainly cost the few ex
Rebel office holders left their positions con
siderable annoyance.
Tbe severest shower of the season bas oc
curred to-day. About 1 o'clock P. M. the sky
was suddenly overcast, aud from 2 until 8 In
tbe afternoon the rain poured down absolutely
In cataracts. At 8 o'clock P. M. the water was
neurly knee deep from curbstone to curbstone
on nearly every street in tbe city. In many
cases the sidewalk was overflowed, and every
street was a turbid torrent, roaring as if let
loose from some mountain fastness. After
about two hours the flood abated, and the eve
ning is clear, sultry, and oppressively warm.
General Sheridan will very Boon take the
muddle of tbe city scrip in band, and endeavor
to save the credit of the city by some method
of redemption aud cancellation both of tne

COURT OF QUARTER BESSIONS-Judge Pelroe,
William 11. Id tin n. District AtLornev: T. H. llivluht.
Assistant District Attorney. The seoond period of tne
fuiy lurui ut'Kau iuih morning.
Margaret Conner was charged with the larceny of
ruonev from Mr. (Iraham. who testltlHd that.
as be was folng bome on the night of the 6th of
juiy,i me corner oi jenin ana UlCKiiiHon streets
the defendant aud another woman passed him, the
defendant rubbing against him. lie felt la bis pocket
and missed bis purse Irom the pocket that the defen
dant touched, lie pursued tbe two women, and, upon
Hearing the corner or Tenth street and Pasnyunk
roud, be saw tbem looking Into the pockeUbook; he
arrested tbem, and the defendant dropped the pocket
book to the ground, empty. 7
It was argued, by the defense tbat, as tbe prose
cuuir neither saw nor felt the deiendant's liani la hit
pocket, there was no evidence agalQRt her, and the
cnDmouwealtli argued tbat, if a woman at the dead
of night rubhed against a man's pocket, aud that man
Iniiiifdiately missed his pocket book, and the next
moment saw the woman looking Into It, he m'ght be
tupid enough to luppo'e the woman stole It, and
such was this case. The Ju'y rendered a verdict of
guilty, with a recommendation Jo the mercy of the
court. ,
George Pmlth was charged with obtaining goods
under false pretenses.. The evidence! A-as, that on the
Mh of tbls month the defendant went to a prjvlslou
store on the river, and ordered meat and other food.
When the articles were put up for him he said he bad
forgot hiB pocket-book. But he said he was Captain
Howard, of tli sloop Ward, then Ivlng at the wharf,
where he bad left his money. But the prosecutor
would not let dim IhKh tbe goods. Upon search It
was found that there was no such sloop on the wharf
as tbe Ward, nor was there such a captain as
Howard.
Tbe defense argued that as tbe defendant did not
take the goods, he did notobiaio them, and therefore
could not oe convicted of a charge of obtaining lueua
under false pretences.
The liletrlct Attorney replied that, though the pre
cise offense charged in tbe bill bad not been proveu to
have beeu committed, yet there was plainly an at
tempt to commit the offense, of which tbe Jury had a
right to coo vlct him under this hill.
1 his argument was addressed lo the Court, bnt was
left opeu until the conclusion of the argument to the
Jury. Ou trial. '

' "Money Is abundant at the banks, and In the outside
ources ol supply. Ho muod M this the plethoric
rase that very considerable sums of currency are
remaining Idle for lack of employment. The pre

commercial and otber purposes, and lenders are
somewhat pnrr.led to know what to do with their
surplus funds. Khort loans on Government
scrip were made to day at S. and other subs'antlal

cable alike to money, merchandise, end stocks."
The Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesday even
ing says:
"Tlie banks continue to gain slowly In enrreney, and
the money market Is, consequently, working easier,
wltb only a moderate demand to-day for loans. Kales
ol interest range from Kxl2 ner cent., bankers loan
