Movements Tor Nornlnailnp n Independent JUeinocrnlic Ticket. In cotisequence of the atrocious nominations trifle by the Democratic Convention, and the brutal man lier In which the-respectable portion of the party have been thrust aside, a number of prominent mcr- hants, brokers, and other citizens have come to the determination to nominate an entirely new ticket, and call on the citizens generally to sustain it. An Informal meeting was held lust night, at which the project was broached, and thM morning quite a num ber of gentlemen met for the same purpose. Mo dis unite form of action was agreed upon, but about fin.ooo was pledged to sustain any enterprise of the kind that might be consummated. The meeting then adjourned to meet In a few days. A simi lar meeting was held In the vicinity of Third and Chesnut streets, In reference to nomi nating Joseph N. Pelrsol, Ks., as an Independent candidate for City Treasurer. Much complaint whs made as to the manner in which he had been treated In the convention. A list waa opened for subscrip tions for placing him as a candidate, and In a few minutes nearly f.'jOOO was subscrllied. It Is proposed to call a general meeting in a lew nays lor tne pur pose of nominating Mr. Pelrsol. It is but Just to say hat air. j'eirsoi informed us tnat ne was not aware of any movement of the kind. The meeting was held In a very quiet manner, none but those who had bten sounded on the subject being admitted. A very bitter feeling exists on tne part or many of the Democratic leaders, who openly declare that they will not support the ticket as nominated so far, and will do all in their power to defeat It. It is also proposed In several legislative district to run independent candidates. The respectable Demo cratic citizens of the First Senatorial district are considering the propriety of nominating an opposi tion candidate to Alexander J. xnaiiionn, anil it is suggested to hold a meeting on Saturduy night for thut object. GENERALITIES. The New House of Commons. The proposed new House Is to hold sou members. 419 of whom will be accommodated on the floor against 428 in the present llousu, of whom but 8i0 can II nd room on the floor; and U'M strangers are to be provided for against Zt"J now. Thus the House, as proposed, will acconnriodate a total of 899 per sons, w hile the House as it stands gives room only to 091 persons. A private staircase for members is to be built between the committee rooms and the House, so that the feverish rundown the public stair at the sound of the bell may lie spared ; and official rooms are to lie provided for the leading officers of State. The apartments now occupied as a private house In the iew Pulace-yard, aud close by the entrance to Westminster Hall, are to be appropri ated as Parliamentary oltlces for the great depart mental chiefs, so tnat t tie iioine secretary, or the Secretary of State for War, will liuve immediate access to the archives and records which are often essential to the clear enunciation of their policy. Ouurrel Between France nnd China. The A'hi l publishes a letter from St. Petersburg. dated the 19th Inst, which gives the Urst detailed account yet published of the recent mlsanderstand- nir at Pektn between tne r rencn cnarge d Affaires.

The Cemetery Thronged. At an early hour the streets were alive with people, and long before the hour at w hich the speeches began the cemetery was crowded. Moled Arrivals'. The following, among many others of cele brity, have arrived hero since yesterday after noon: General Geary, General Meade and staff, a committee of Philadelphia Councilmcn, Gene ral Robinson, U. 8. A.; General Barnum, of New York; General Alexander, U. 8. A.; General Dcnnison, of Baltimore; Governor Baldwin, of Michigan; General Rawlins, Secretary af War; Hon. Ell 8.' Parker, Commioilouer of Indian Affairs; Colonel W. Hopkins, of Lancaster, Pa.; and General G. A. Cunningham, of Mass. The Soldiers' Monument. The nionunicnt,which Dow stands almost com plete, and about which to-day is gathered such a dense and Interested throng of peoplo, Is probably the most imposing memento of the late civil war of any now in the country. Its cost will not fall short of $50,000 althonffti' the original estimate was about $25,000. It Is from designs by J. G. Patterson, of Hartford, Conn., who also famished the clay models of the statuary, which were worked out in Rome by Randolph Rogers. The superstructure is sixty feet high, consisting of a massive .pedestal, twenty-five feet square at the base, and the die and cap crowned with u three-quarter globe,on which stands a colossal statue of the Genius of Liberty. In her right hand is held the victor's wreath of laurel, and clnsping with the left a sheathed sword. Projecting from the angles of the pedes tal are four buttresses, supporting the same number of allegorical statues, representing War, History, Peace, aud Plenty. War is per sonified by an American soldier, who, resting from the conflict, relates to History the story of the bnttle tlio monument commemorates, while HiHtory,with stylus and tablet, is chiselled as re cording the achievements of the field. Peaef is symbolized by a statue of tlio American me chnnie,with the accessories of a cog-wheel, ham mer, and chisel, while Plenty is represented by a female figure, with a sheaf of wheat and fruits, as emblematic of peace and abundance, as the soldier's crowning triumph. The buttresses on which these statues which arc all colossal are seated, have the sides ornamented with bas- reliefs In unison with the idea embodied in the statue. The upper die and cap of the monu ment are circular, and on the die is a circlet of bronze stars made up of one for each State hav ing dead in the cemetery. The cornice and plinth above the main die of the pedestal are octagonal and heavily moulded, and on the plinth rests an octagonal moulded base, bearing upon its face the national arms in high relief. The panel of the main dio, on the west side be tween the statues, has engraved on It: (Jetty sit i.'iio, July 1, 2, 8,' 1803. While the corresponding panel on the opposite side has the following from Lincoln's dedicatory address: "It Is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for ns to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that the Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Lincoln, November 19, 1SC3. The Procession Formed. Shortly after 10 o'clock A.

London, July 1. The papers of this city pub lish the following Intelligence to-day: The fol lowing despatches have been received from Cup tain Sbcrrard Osborn, who is at the shore end of the new French cable near Brest: "Brest, June 30. This morning at 9 o'clock, Greenwich time, the Great Eastern telegraphed to us: 'We are going to cut cable and buoy.' This has evidently been done, for no signals have passed since, a careful watch being kept for their renewal. "The first sign of, something being wrong in the electrical condition of the cable occurred early this morning, but nothing of a definite character until the above message reached w. We had a very long message at 1.130, Greenwich time, last night, from the Great Eastern, at which time the signals were reported by Mr. May to be most perfect. I see no reason for the slightest alarm at what the Great Eastern Is doing. The trouble is evidently from the re sistance of the guttn percha. It was reported last night that a slight fault of the 25th was improving. Mr. May agrees with me in thinking that they have buoyed the coble in shoal water, and arc returning to remove the fault. The delay is the only Inconvenience." The following has been received from Sir W. Thomson: "Minon, France, June 30. I arrived hero from Brest, with Captain Osburn, at noon. A telegram from Mr. Gooch, dated at 9 o'clock this morning, Greenwich time, awaited hlin, saying that they intended to cut and buoy the cable. This has probably been done, as no signals have come since then. We doMiot know tho reason. The tests here up to C30, Greeuwleh time, gave no cause for suspension." Thin IHornlnK'n Quotation.

I.HOAL 1WTELUE.CE. fnnreme Court In BancChief Justice Thomp son and Juiigea Keuil, Aicnvw, fliarswoorf, and Wllllamti. The special session of the Court la Banc waa opened this morning. TDK KBOISTKV CASS. . Charles M. Gibbons, Esq., called the attention of the Court to the appeal taken from the decision of Judge Hharswood upon the constitutionality of the Jtegisiry law, ann asKeu wnen mo court would hear the argument, saying it was . a most Important matter. The Chief Justice said that the ease was upon the list In regular order, and would be called when reached. Judge Head said that he most seriously objected to having a case or so great lc porlaucu placed at Die foot of the list. It was the most lmportaut mat ter before the Court, and he certainly thought it should he heard at once. The Chief Justice iaid that he did not know that the case hud been placed at the foot of the list. Judge Read It Is at tho foot of the list, ami I do not see why preference should be giv en to another of .lot half so much weight. The Chief Justice I do not understand the reason for this imputation that I wish to get rid of any case before the court. I say this matter will bit heard In lis regular order, and there is uo reason for devia tion from the rule. Judge Read There Is no such Imputation made. Chief Justice There is, aud it is very Improper. A case Is already called, which, upon the list, has precedence to this, and when it is coucludetl, if no oilier intervenes, tne ucgisiry case wiu be lieurd right away. Judge Read I shall ask for a poll of the Judges, as a majority of the court can call a case. Chief Justice I am aware of that; but this Is I he most extraordinary thing 1 have heard since I have been on the l-uch. Wlllluni M. Meredith, Esq., suggested to the Court that it was usual to give cases of great importuuee preference in point of the time of hearing. The Chief Justice said he did not like to sec the Court thus Importuned to rail a case Immediately out of Its regular order, us if it were trying to avoid a In at tug. Mr. Meredith assnred the Court that he hud enter tained no such Idea. The whole controversy was of an exceedingly un pleasant character, aud was dually concluded by the understanding that upon the case first upon the list the registry question should be heard If no other in tervened. TIIK TWENTY-NINTH .Il'DIOl At, IHHTMCT. The Commonwealth vs. James Gamble. Quo warranto. This was the case which had precedi-iice to the registry case upon the list. Having raised a preliminary question as to which party had the right to open the argument, the defendant upon his own demurrer, or the Commonwealth bv right of some prerogative; and having decided if in favor of the defendant, tho Court proceeded to hear the case, which was then opened by Judge Strong for the de fendant. The facts of the case are these: At the suggestion of the Attorney-Geueral, tho Common wealth Issued a writ of quo warranto against James Gamble to show by what authority he exer cised the rights and privileges of President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Lycoming county. To this writ the defendant pleaded that) prior to the 28th of February, lsis, Lycoming county, was a part of the Twenty-eight1" Judicial district; i u that day an act of Assembly was passed by which Lycoming county was detached from the Twenty-eighth dis trict and erected into the Twenty-niuty Judicial district, this act of Assembly directed thut on the second Tuesday of October the following, the electors of the county should proceed to choose a 1 -resident Judge of the court so created; on tho day appointed the citi.ens elected tho defendant, James (iambic, to the posltiou, and he was duly commissioned and sworn us President Judge of the Court of Common Pleus of Lycoming county, aud by virtue of his commission and oath he has to the present day exercised the rigljtsnud dis charged the duties of the otllce. This pica the Com liioLwealth did not traverse, but by way of confes sion and avoidance replied that tho act of March 16, IStW, repealed the act of February '2-, 1848, and Lycoming couuty was thrown, not back Into the old Twenty-eight, but Into the Fourth Judicial district; anil as there Is now no such district as the Twenty-eight, therefore the defend ant can no longer act as President Judge of such. To this replication tho defendant demurred, and thus presented the question, whether this latter act were operative to deprive Judge Gamble of the right of President Judge of the Common Pleas or Lycom ing county, the Commonwealth muiutaiuiti the aitlrmatlve, and lh defense the myuttvu. 'ilie itrguinent was still untlvr way at the close of our report. FINANCE ANI COMMERCE. OrriCK or thr Ktr o Tf:t.-tiArH,t l lmi'sdajr. July 1, but, f The activity which has characterized our local Money market during the current w eek, aud which culminated yesterday in a rush for loans, has tamed down today within tho usual limits of a quiet de mand. The multitude of corporations which gene rally pay out their quarterly or semi-annual divi dends or interests on the Urst of July have already begun the operation, and, with the gold Interest due on Government bonds which Is either owned or will be deposited Iu the city, will give in a few days uu entirely new feature to the market. W'e notice, so fur, no very material change Iu the rates current, nor are the banks more dlsHsud to discounting operations than yesterday, but there is a decidedly easier feeling In money circles, aud the turnliig-poliit has been reached. . Call loans are made at 6i,7 per cent, on prime col lateral, and merchant paper is current ou the street at 7o9 per cent, according to grade. The gold market Is active and prices Arm at 1.17 V at noon, an advance oi ' on opening price. Govern ments are quite active, and the tendency is decidedly upward.

A limited numberof the eeven per cent, hnndii of the Pennsylvania sun New Vork Canal and Railroad Cempany are now offered at Six per cent.
