nlia mtuitxi (he world. In what can any other
tv nvrpwiii tin save Home, perhaps of the Old World
to lumbers and antiquity? In life and vlRor and
alcrpr-HS however, this Quaker City still bears the
Mim. Onr projrresa ha excited the wonder and
admiration or the. continent, while to many even of
ar own cltlr.cns It has oeciwloned surprise. Hut
these latter do not search di-ep enough to discover
tee foundation on which that proirrcss is htult. They
are content, even In the midst of their Ignorance aft
to the cause, to know that the city doe advance In
all the essentials of prosperity constantly and
taoMly advance, No likewise are we content In thin
knowledne, and enjoy the additional ploamre of hav
tn an opportunity now and then to not the flatter
ing evidences of improvement and expansion which
take place around us. .
Hnt a day or two sine we chronicled the comple
tion of a palatial banklnn-hoiise on Third street,
directly opposite Tub Tki.korai-h ortlce: now wo
chronicle the completion and nccupnncv of a palatial
tewclry store on C'hesnnt street, No. 11.4. Messrs.
tnark A Blddle, the well-known Jewellers, formerly
n Chesnut street, west of Seventh, are the firm
which has opened this most mnjtnitlcent place.
Cramped for room and accommodations in their old
tore, standlhK in need of enlarged facilities for tho
eondtict of their extensive and increasing business,
what did they do? I'lllled up slakes, as
thers had done In-fore them, and obeying the
eal) of "Westward ho!" moved "np the street.-'
How they have all the space and conve
nience they could desire. They could not have
located In a better plat, wherefore they are to be
felicitated for the aptness of their choice. Hut must
we not give a description of the new establishment,
as in duty bound? Well, then, since of late marble
is all tho rage, of course Messrs. Clark A Kiddle have
a marble front. It rises to the height of four stories,
chaste and simple, yet suillelently ornamented to
aave it from the -accusation of absolute plainness. A
neat white balcony of pure white marble Juts from
the space Immediately tielow the windows of the
third story. A pretty and unique monogram of the
rm displays Itself over the entrance, as well as the
Marble lace ol the building to the sides of the show
windows. The latter arc transparent with the
largest, whitest, and clearest of French plate-glass,
and have their eastern and western sides covered
with huge mirrors, so adjusted as to afford u perspec
tive view of the Interior. Now let us enter.
The Unit rnMemble of the place Is enchanting, light,
airy, spacious, and admirably well arranged. Cases
extend along on either side of the store to Its ex
treme length. Back of them massive and mtiynill
cent cabinets are placed against the walls. The llrst
thing noticeable Is the tmusual disposition of the
upace directly south of the windows. Hefore the
nrst cases are reached on cither side, small aud
pretty tables and chairs ure placed, making a twlu
pair of oftlccs for the use of the gentlemen of the
Ural. Then you come to Uie coses. Now these de
nerve particular mention. The firm boasts, and
justly, that none like them can be found in the citv.
' Their depth is their great feature, but In every way
are they so completely constructed that they ure
models of beauty, elegance, aud convenience. I'p
and down the store on either side they
stretch away, glittering- in the light to the
confuHlon of one's eyes. I'nlike the ordinary box
cases, they stand upon heavily-carved low walnut
tables, ami Inviting stools for customers arc located
at intervals before them. The cabinets, as has alreudy
heen said, are very large. Of course, out of walnut
are they fashioned, for would any other than that
expensive and dark-hued wood do for an establish
ment like this ? Each of them Is divided into coiu
nurtnicutM. with broad and tall mirrors between.
Their backs are lined with the liuest of black velvet,
which serves the effect or bewitrhingly setting oil the
goods placed within. Slender aud beautiful walnut
tables are placed between the cases, designed for the
better exhibition of goods when removed from the
latter. The whole store is beautifully frescoed, ami
a double line of gilt moulding winds it l.rilliuut way
around the edges of the ceiling, affording tin ex
quisite llnlsh to the angles.
Tho store Is twentv-slx feet in width. lilt) feet in
depth. The height of the ceiling is about 20 lei-t.
Midway down the space a sort of part it ton or division
wall confronts vou. At this point the tour-storied
portion of the'butlding ends, the remaining part
being but one story In height. Four large skylights
are cut in the ceiling, which now also serves as the
roof from here to the extreme rear of the store.
The place is flooded with light, and glitters in the
minshine, Exactlv ut the point or the division, on
one side Is placed the count iug-i-oom of the linn, on
the other the -stairway which leads to the upper
Htories. The entire arrangement is most happy and
complete.
Ketracing onr steps now to the front section of the
Ktore-, on the east side is the watch and diamond de
partment; on the west side the department for Jew
elry and fancy articles. The rear portion of the
store is used as the silverware department, and is
crowded with articles of that class. When the store
is lighted by gas one hundred and ninety-two burners
flash their ruys from numerous .chandeliers and
It would be difficult to conceive how the place
could have been better arranged or more elegantly
fmlshed, apart from any attempt ut gru udcur. With
an already established reputation, with courtesy
and attention, will not Messrs. Clark .t Diddle pros
per more lu their new store than they did in their old?
"Wttat awc thk Wn.n Waves Sayisov" The
"great! hotel" alwut which the frequenters of Cape
Island have heard so much for years is at last a
reality. On the -Oth of June the Stockton House will
lie ready to receive visitors, and visitors will tlnd It
the largest and most mugnitlcent institution of the
kind on the American continent. The building alone
covers a space of two acres and a half, and in the
jrronnds eight acres are embraced. Surrounding the
building Is a magnificent portico one thousand feet
in length, the projecting roof of which is supported
by tlfty-nine massive pillars, fifty feet in height. The
dining-room Is 820 feet in length and CO feet in
width. The parlors are both largo and numerous,
and will te furnished in the most luxurious style.
The building being rive stories in height, it affords
space for 850 ample chambers, in each of which
both water and gas will be introduced,
the furniture to be of oiled black walnut,
the beds provided with spring hair muHrusses, ami the
floors covered with that rare seasldu luxury carpet.
Altogether, the hotel will certainly be the largest and

waves, but have been heretofore compelled to gratify
their passion under circumstances and surroundings
of a rather depressing dature. A. 11. Markley, Esq.,
of the Camden and Amboy ltallroad Company, is the
president of the company which has erected tills mag

trusted to Mr. Peter Gardner, a gentleman who
knows how to keep a hotel, if a long experience iu
connection with such establishment as tho New
York Hotel, and Willard s, at Washington, can Impart
such knowledge. The Stockton House is situated on
the beach, lielow tho Columbia House, ami, to add to
the eligibility of the site, a breakwater has been con
st rooted in front of it, giving a continuous seaside
promenade from tho Excursion House to u point half
a mile tielow tho new building a promenade unri

From the San Franriseo Herald, Marvh US.
The schooner Ann Eliza, belonging to Janscn
& Co., arrived hero on Tuesday lust, laden with
seal skins from Kodiak Island aud the lower
coast of Alaska, brings Intelligence of immense
discoveries of gold, in placers, on the main
land, latitude 61 north, longitude 150 west from
(ireenwich. 1 he steward ot tho vessel exhibits
some fine specimens of dust, which he says was
obtained iu the proportion of ouo tcaspoonfnl
to three shovels of dirt, taken from six feet
below the surface. He also has specimens of
quart, nnd nugget gold. The captain
and crew of the vessel confirm his
statements. The discovery was made
120 miles from Kodiak Island, upon tho
Kuyak river, which debouches into Cook river,
Uv a Russian euginccr who was prospecting,
lie was led to the effort by the appearance of
specimens which ho obtained from the Indians.
Hie second mines discovered are about sixty
miles above Sitka, between Mount Falrwcather
and tho Chilcut river. The third discovery is
upon one of the islands, the name of which was
not known, intno Kuyak river mines tlio gold
is found along the river banks, and in tho
gulches of the Chigmit mountains. Tho Kuyak
river Is ua igable lor light draught vessels, tor
thirty miles above its junction with Cook river.
On account of tho climate tho mines cun only bo
worked tor live months In the vcar. At the tunc
the Ann Eliza left, rumors of silver discoveries
were common, but doubt was entertained of its
existence; gold, however, was plenty.
1110 steward and his companion lost their
mining tools by the capsizing of their skin boats
while crossing tho Kodiak. After procuring a
proper outfit they will return thither. Of course
these new discoveries will attract only ordinary
attention on account of their remote location
from civiliuiioti, and occurring ut the height of
tins White Pino excitement: but under ordinary
circumstances 11 grand rush would set in that
direction.

The 'tw Yorlt Money Market.
From the U'rala.
"The Jovernment sale of (told took place to-day at
the Sub-Treasury. Secretary Hotitwell was in tho
bulldlnir, but did not attend the oncnlnft of tho bids.
The proposals were twenty-six In number, for a sum
ainnunttnir to over ciirht millions of dollars, at prices
rantrtnir from 131 -B0 to 134-08, The awards were
made in one lot or kso.ooo, at 134W, and tnreo lots,
amounting to ITBO.ooo, at 134-01. Ho rar as the
experiment of easlnir the market Is concerned, it
was a decided failure, ror irold went up tmmeiilateiy
after to 134, a rise or three-quarters per cent.
us compared with the lowest price in the
morning. Mr. Houtwell was quite reticent
as to his policy, and made very little display during
his visit to the street In the afternoon he was in
troduced at the Stock Exehsnge, and made a speech
ol some live minutes' duration. In which he said that
he would faithfully use the revenues of the Govern
ment, and endeavor to reduce the national debt, lie
was Koltig to so conduct his administration that no
one could question his Integrity. He would so con
trive that no one should make or lose monev by
him. This final hit nt tho stoc.k-jobblnir pro
clivities of the previous Incumbent of the
Heereturyshlp was well received. So ended
the visit and the (jrent sale or gold. Doubtless Mr.
Boutwcll means well, but he seems pertectly inex
perienced. He has little prenlus tor finance and fs
feeliiiK his way cautiously nlonir the path which the
President, and Conirress hav e appointed him to travel.
Those who know him Intimately say that he Is
anxious not to disturb tho monetary ease of this
centre by sellliifr a luree quantity of gold at
once, and hence his selection of tho present
period for the sales. It is the Impression that he
will avail himself of the authority conferred by
tho SinkiiiK Fund act to cancel a percentugo
of Oovernnient bonds, and hence these securities
were very stronir to-day, particularly artcr nis speecn
at the Stock Exchunire, when the 62s sold at the ex
traordinary price or Ui, and tlio wis atll. The
advance frightened the 'shorts' Into covering, and
this interest has been evidently irreatl.v reduced, as
all the issues were lending to-day at good rates of
Interest. The advance or consols to 94 ror money.
is a further proor or monetary case at London, and
stimulates loreurn piircnuscs.
"The money market was without Important
chanire. but it was nvruln ditlleult to decide which
wus the prevailing rule, 6 or 7 per cent. Those who
wanted to lend money could get only 6 for It, while
those wlio were under ton necessity ot borrowing
had to pay T. Commercial puner wus duller, but
rates remained steady, at 8 to lo percent, for prime
iluuiue names lour luoutns acceptuuces,and at t to
8h. tor sixty days notes.
"Foreign exchange wus nctlvo at an advance of
one-eighth In rates for sterling. The higher price of
cotton on this side or the Atlantic leaves the market
hare or cotton bills, while the home consumption of
the staple has steadily increased In our manufac
tories. The following wus the range of quotations

This was all the more remarkable as cash gold was
In greater abundance, and but two days intervene
to Saturday, when about ten millions of gold will
conic 011 the New York market iu payment of tho
May coupons. The premium seemed to go up without

From the World.
"The great event In Wall street to-day was the
visit ol Secretary Houtwell to this city, and the
speech which he made to the New York Stock Ex
change. The exposition or his views was exceed
ingly satlsiuctory. u ney wero simple, plalu, and
right to the point, "Kcononiy and law"' were the
acknowledged guides of his policy. Simple as 'econ
omy uud law' may seem to be us the acknowledged
guides of Mr. Houtwell's policy, they have
been for over seven yenrs the antipotes of
everything done by anybody in tho Treasury Denart-
ment or tho United States. Kconomy and law' arc
what the people or the United states want In a Secre
tary or the Treasury. If Mr. Houtwell has the cour
age and persistence to carry out this programme of
'economy and law' in ids department, then he inav
safely calculate upon a nutlonul and world-wide re
putation high enough to satisfy the ambition of the
most Insatiate. The surplus revenue of tho United
states shows plainly Unit an honest and
business-like administration of our finances
will Inevitably advunce the national credit
to so high a standard that the road to
specie payments can bo made easy and natural by
the appreciation of tho market price of our bonds to
par 111 gold und upwards, i he official declaration
that (Jovernment Intended to curry out, in good taith
ut once, the Sinking Fund act ot 1862, would assist
materially in placing I nited States bonds on that,
high standard In the markets or the world to which
they ure entitled. The Sinking Fund act of 1802
wus part und parcel of the same law which author
ized the Issue of the Five-twenty bonds of 1862.
It was u pledge or the national honor to extinguish
an obligation issued tnereon upon tno national
credit. The fiilllluient of this national pledge
upon the purt or Mr. lloutwelllwould stamp his ad
ministration as u new advent of all'ulrs In our Trea
sury Department. The luw which defines tlio sink
ing fund Is unmistakublo and Incontrovertible, and
it has been until this duy Ignored uml violated by
Secretaries Chase and McCulloch. Tho Sinking
Fund provision In the uct of Congress, 1802, was a
vltul portion of the burguin upon which Government
negotiated the 1500,000,000 of the Five-twenty bonds
of lsil-2. The violation of this burguin hitherto is not
credituble to (iovcrnnient. If Mr. Houtwell declares
ofllciullv that the llnunciul policy of Government will
henceforth curry out lu good rulth the provisions of
the Sinking Fund act or 1862, then tho Five-twenty
bonds will advance rapidly to und above pur in gold,
so that the Secretary euu readily negotiate four per
cent, bonds on advantageous terms, und thereby re
duce materially the burden of taxation which the
people have to boar. Mr. Houtwell's visit to-duy hus
made a favorable impression on those who have
come In contact Willi film; ami although he has not
been us vet Hiiillclcutty explicit in the declaration of
his policy to meet popular expectation, still wliut he
hus suiii Is so fur good. He visited tlio Stock Ex
change to-day, und wus Introduced to a number of
Its members. There wus u very general deslro to
hear his views, and In compliance with the unlversul
demand the Secretary addressed tho bwck Ex
change iu substance us follows:
"(ipntli'iniii This is the first time that I hay ever
visited Hib htoc-k Km-liange, nnd I am glad to tiient, you
here. I suppose you will expect me to say something about
my linuiu lul policy. 1 shull use every mean and iiillucnce
H my uouuuuihI to collect the full unmuut of revenue due
titlie (rtiverniuent, and apply llie same to the woiking
eipense s of the (ioverniufnt uml the surplus to the reduc
tion o( the national debi. I shall use every prudent
eeunoiny in the adnnuiHt ralion of my departmeut, and ii
transactions shull be as plain as if written upon your very
walls. I shall do notliinu wliii-li will t-aime any pin or bring
any loss on private individuals. I shall endeavor to ad
minister the liiiuuces iu such a manner as not locust any
sliauie or reproach on the department, nor to embarrass
the business of the country."
"If Mr. Houtwell curries out these views In a prac
tical form, then he will command the good will uud
Influence or citizens of every party.
"The Money market was easy ut 0 to T per cent, on
call. Prime business notes tiro wanted ut, 8 to per
cent. The bunks ure gaining strength every day,
and ure more disposed to uccomiiioduio their cus
tomers. The bids to-duy for the Oovernnient. gold, $1,000,

Cabinet Reconstruction.
The editorial which appeared iu the Chicago
Trilitiii'! a few days ago, reviewing Grant's ad
ministration, and calling for a new Cabinet
composed of statesmen, instead of mere clerks,
has attracted the attention of the President, und
is said to give him great uneasiness. In view of
tho clamor, which has now become geueral, for
a reconstruction of the Cabinet, it is not impro
bable tli ti t Orant will, in accordance with his
promise to the committee which notified him of
his election, that if ouo Cabinet did not suit ho
would get another, look around for new
timber out of which to construct u stronger knd

FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF SAFE

UNSUCCESSFUL BURGLARY".
HITTER OF MESSRS. DAVID DOWH ft CO.
New York, April 10, 1869.
IlFKitiNO, Fakkel 4 Sherman,
No. 251 Broadway.
(Jents: On the night of the 22d ultimo, onr store,
No. 20 sonth street, was entered, and a desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon one of your safes In our
counting-room.
Tho key to the safe In which we kept our seonrities
was locked inside of our fire-proof book safe, the
doors of which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
It. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof
Banker's Chests inside, In which our valuables were
deposited. Tills they went to work at with a will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force It. llie night was dark and stormy,
and tho fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to tlio work. All was useless, and it is with
great satisfaction wo report that upon opening it we
found our secnritles all nae, and can therefore cheer
fully Indorse tho Burglar-Proof work recommended
by yon.
Yon will please send the new safe purchased by ns
to our couuting-house, and take the old one, to show
that some safes are still manufactured woitny or the
name. , David Dows A Co.
